Schedule: Interval Training (90 second run/210 second walk) 2.5 miles
Result: Workout modified after 25 min/ workout failure after 35 min
Other: It started off really well. The first three intervals went as smooth as silk. (The first mile was in about 14 minutes) The fourth interval was not too bad. However, 45 seconds into the fifth interval I just couldn't go anymore so I changed the inerval to 45/255. However, at the beginning of the seventh interval, I realized I couldn't physically continue. I Terminated the workout and walked back the rest of the way.
How bad off was I? If I walked too fast I would be gasping for air. My legs felt extremely rubbery. I think I hit my wall and in all honesty hitting a wall after about two miles is pathetic. I have a lot of work to do.
A few other things to note:
1. My hydration level was suspect before I started. I thought I was properly hydrated rather than knowing I was properly hydrated.
2. After taking a close look at my workout schedule; I'm convinced it is for a 10K run since the second to last workout is a 6 mile run. A 5K run is only a hair over 3.
3.I've been coughing a bit after this workout. Considering I was still smoking a little over 2 months ago, it is not surprising.
All in all, you learn more from your failures than your successes. I'm getting an abundant instruction after this workout.
