Back to the treadmill after a weekend of fun! I got on my treadmill tonight with my Ipod and did Week 2, Day 1 of C25K. 5 minute walking warmup...then 1 1/2 minute run, 2 minute walk. Repeat 6 times. Then 5 minute cool down. I did that and then did another mile on the treadmill walking/running. I discovered that I was trying to run too fast. If I slow down.......I can go a lot longer. Common sense.....right!
Nice job on the run on Sunday Rog.
And Teri - Sounds like you have found a new workout! Fill me in!
How often do you guys run? Every other day? I'm trying to figure out a schedule......and what I should do on my non running days. Ideas?
Well Monday is done. Have a great rest of the week. I'll check in tomorrow. Happy running.
What to do on an off day? I have been told anything but run. I did spinning over the winter, but got tired of committing to a time, so I hung it up. Now I do eliptical. Very non stressful on the joints. And I will ride my bike when the weather gets better. The trails are great around here. Just jump on the Janesville trail and see where it takes you. For my 8 week training course, I run 6 days a week but the type of run changes daily. Sometimes it's a fast pace, sometimes it's not. Every sunday morning is the long run. I will go 13 this week, then back off in the week leading to the half. Tina, do not be afraid to ask the people who know what they are doing. I was down there Monday and we talked about you. Were your ears ringing. She remembered you saying your cousin sent you. They love to talk about running. I will say to just go at YOUR pace. You have to enjoy it first, then get serious. Does that make sense? Great job Tina. At least you're not puking. ??Ask Theresa.
