Today I'm "officially" starting the 5K program again

I've been doing things kinda willy nilly......running a little here and there but nothing too structured.  I think I need some structure back.  So I'm going to start the 5K training program over today and do the Advanced Beginner program.   Here's an example of the difference between the program I did before and what I'm going to do this time.......

Day 1 for advanced:  Run 1 min, walk 2 min, repeat 10X.
Day 1 for beginners:  Run 1 min, walk 2 min, repeat 3X.

I'm ready to tackle the advanced, get back into a training routine and build on what I had already accomplished.  Next week Amber & I are going to start running together again.  Looking forward to it for sure!!!!! 

Since I wasn't able to run the 5K race before.....we're going to do one on Saturday, Oct 8th.  I figure the advanced 5K training should get me to where I need to be. 

I'll report back as to how things go this week.....with officially being back at it.  Happy Running!

  1. It went really well! I ran Wed & Friday. Took Thursday off instead of Friday to ensure I wasn't over doing it. Rode my bike today for 45 minutes. So far so good. Feels good to be back at it.
    Happy Running....and Amber, looking forward to Monday and running together again!!!!
