Okay, so I think I'm on week 4. I started back last week (after almost a month off). I ran one day on my Thanksgiving week cruise and that was on the treadmill in the ship gym and I was wobbling all over that thing b/c the seas were so rough, but looking out the front of the ship while running was AWESOME!
I ran last week just once and this week I've run 3 days in a row and am loving it.
Monday I ran this schedule:
Walk 5, run 3, walk 2 run 3, walk 2, run 4 and walk 2 run 6. That way I got the 16 minutes in that week 4 calls for.
Tuesday I ran the correct C25K schedule: 5 Minute warm up..then this:
* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
* Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
I do all my running/walking on a treadmill in the gym. I don't like the concrete, I can't run the neighborhood with a water bottle and don't like being without one and I just don't have any good places to run that are easy to get to (other than the gym).
Today I ran this just to see what I could do.
Walked about 12.5 minutes (I was on the phone and didn't get off when the 5 minute mark rolled around
).
Ran until I couldn't go anymore just to see how long I could go.
I RAN 15 MINUTES!!!! WOOHOO!! That was encouraging
.
Then I walked 3 more and ran 5 more and then walked 3 more. I ended up being on the treadmill for 43:13 minutes! That's more than normal for me.
I walk @ 3.7 mph and I run @ 4.9 mph. I listen to music and keep my towel, water and inhaler handy
.
Okay, so that's my info. Post away. I'd love to here info, advice, tips from anyone.
