So I gave W4D1 a try and failed...
I was all pumped up. Started to run (I should really say jog) and next thing I know I hear ''run''....but I'm still running?!?!? I never heard the lady say ''walk'' or did she ever???? I had jog for 5min already and couldn't keep on for another 5 so I stared walking... It threw we off so bad I could never get back so I turned off the program and just walked...
I don't know why I get so stressed when I use this program, I think it's a personality thing; as if I'm so afraid that I wont make it that I get myself so worked up that I literally CAN'T do it!! It's a mind thing!!!
So this morning I've decided to try plan C. My goal is to jog non-stop for 30min or more. I don't want to do the walk-jog-walk-jog-walk... My heart can not take it. I just want to walk-jog-walk and I'm done. So since I was able to jog 5min yesterday I figured my next goal was to jog 6min or stick to my 5. Started to jog and when I felt that I had to stop I looked at my watch: I had already jogged for 8min!!!!
I stopped at 8 and continue with my walk.
So my new goal is 9min straight or no less than 8; easy step!
I want to workout for at least 30min, +3 times per week. Warm-up 5min - Jog ''what ever I can'' - Walk the rest of time for 30min total (or 5min cool-down when I'm able to run +20min) Make sense?!?! .
Like that I only prep myself (physically & mentally) for one big push and that's it, walk the rest...
I will run a 5k.... I WILL!!!! (hopefully under 45min
)
Here's a chart that I've made to put on my fridge.
Comments, suggestions???
