Scheduled: 45 second run/ 2:15 walk for 2 miles
Results: Workout Complete
Time: 29:59
Avg Speed: 4.0 mph
Other: I was pretty dissapointed with this workout until I thought about the following:
1. I am up to running for 45 seconds at a crack. Three months ago, I wouldn't have been able to do that once in one day much less multiple times.
2. The length of the workout increased by a half mile. The speed will come. It's endurance we're worried about and that can only be done by increasing length/duration with respect to intensity of the workout. I assure you, this one was intense. I truly needed those rest periods to catch my breath. Any faster during the walking and I would have collapsed.
3. I'm trying to undo a life time's worth of abuse. That takes time.
4. I ran into a stiff wind the first half of the run/walk.
5. I had more elevation change. I crossed over the Oregon St Bridge twice.
My lungs didn't feel quite as on fire as the last time.
My hamstrings and qudriceps were a bit tight despite stretching them well.
Stomach is still tight from the cross training.
My calf muscles haven't even flinched the entire time so far.
