After my post on Sunday "I Ran" when I did my first property 1min run on the treadmill at the gym, today I went for my gym review and made the HUGE mistake of telling my gym instructor that I had run and wanted to try to do more
SO, he has done my review and altered things around a little. The main thing being that today I ran again, doing three 1min runs with 1min in between each! The third 1min, when I got to the last 20 seconds I was really struggling, but I managed it.
So this is now part of my gym programme for the next month/six weeks! He said that once I feel comfortable doing that I can add in more 1min intervals or extend one of the 1mins a bit.
Can I really do this on a long term basis? I was SO excited once I'd done it at the gym today and for a few hours afterwards, but now I'm thinking have I bitten off more than I can chew
I'm still obese and unfit compared to people with a normal bmi, and I'm just worried that I'm trying to push myself too far too soon. I really want to do this, I've never run in my life and this for me will prove how far I've come and how determined I am to go all the way, but it's so scary!
Looking at the C25K I see more running overall in week 1 of the plan, but with longer walking breaks in between the running. Does three 1min intervals sound reasonable as a start?
