Week 3/18

[wojelah]

Running at lunchtime today, for a value of lunchtime that = pretty late in the day, actually.

3 miles in 59:30, which does not seem like a phenomenal time, except that in about a week, I've managed to increase speed enough to shave off 30 seconds, and for me, that's worthy of a wahoo!

Today: Upped both the total time spent running and the time spent running at faster speeds.  

1st 5 min: 1 min walk at 1.8 mph, 1 min walk at 3.0 mph, 2 min run at 3.0 mph, 1 min run at 3.1 mph
2nd: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 2 min run at 3.0 mph, 1 min run at 3.1 mph
3rd: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 3 min run at 3.1 mph
4th-9th: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 1.5 min run at 3.0 mph, 45 sec run at 3.1 mph, 45 sec run at 3.2 mph
10th: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 3 min run at 3.1 mph
11th: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 2 min run at 3.0 mph, 1 min run at 3.1 mph
12th: 2 min walk at 3.0 mph, 2.5 min run at 3.0 (last 30 sec folded into cool down)

It's back to feeling good again - I really am not tiring until about 35 minutes in, and my breathing is steady and even. 3-4 minutes of walking to cool down and I'm comfortable. YAY!
