Hello. We're also at similar heights and weights
. I usually do it 5-6 days a week. I'll take 3-4 days off if I hit a stretch where I just feel really heavy running. You know where you're sore and struggle with intervals you breezed though in the past. Though that has only happened twice. This is the only exercise I'm currently doing though.
I joined this thread because I was fed up with myself after a poor weekend. The result was being up 4+ pounds on Monday. Plus I've been hovering at 204-205 for the last 2 weeks. I just needed to step it up. Therefore I'm trying to do a little extra right now. I'm not going to try and keep this pace up into July though. My next 5K is 8/7 and I'm hoping to have "graduated" by then and be able to run the whole thing at a 30min-ish time.
I'm also REALLY dreading the 20min run. I'm going to stay on this workout for a few days until I really feel like I have it down. My "pattern" with this workout plan has been stay on one workout for a few days then breeze though the next 3. I was going to put an * next to yesterdays run because I pooped out with 3 min left in the second 8 min. It wasn't actually completed, but I got out there and broke a sweat
