The Plan
Long time no post. I will fill in the blanks between this and last post.. for now, I’ll post just to get it going.
I’ve been trying to get back on the running schedule and not been very good about it, so I’ve decided to pick a plan, and to stick to it. In order for me not to get burned out, I picked a really easy plan. Probably too easy, but the idea is if it’s THAT easy, it’ll make it easier for me to stick with it. This is called the Couch-to-5K Plan. I found it while surfing around and you can get to it here.
This is the plan. I did Day 1 tonight. It felt good. I probably pushed the “jogging” a little hard, but that’ ok. It’s just 60 second intervals today. I’ll keep posting about how the workouts go. I also need to figure out how to tag these posts differently than normal posts because reading about a workout schedule isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and I have more interesting things to post, but blogging about the workout will keep me motivated I hope.
| Week | Workout 1 | Workout 2 | Workout 3 |
| 1 | Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. | Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
