Last year I had resolved to run 700 miles... I ran only 157.79. OUCH! I just didn't feel it, I suppose. This year I am ready to start fresh and get back into running because I really do love it and I love how it makes me feel.
My goal this year is to run 400 miles. Today was my first run of 2012 and it was more of a "wog" (a combination of a walk/jog).
I had a goal of 30 minutes of wogging and I met it!
This is how I broke it down:
- 5 minutes walk
- 10 minutes jogging
- 5 minutes walk
- 5 minutes jogging
- 5 minutes walk
I made it 2.10 miles in 30 minutes according to my Garmin. Not too shabby! My goal for this week is to do 30 minutes for all "wogs" and on Sunday to bump it to 35 minutes (since that will be my LONG run day) and then do 30 minutes next week, and will see how I feel after that....
Hopeful schedule:
Sundays - Long run
Mondays - Rest day
Tuesdays - Run
Wednesdays - Run
Thursdays - Cross training day (60 minutes)
Fridays - Run
Saturdays - Cross training day (60 minutes)
I'm all about intervals. If wogging works, go with it! I was always trying to just run ... then started doing 4 minutes running/1 minute walking and it is like life came back into my legs and I loved running again!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your way to 400!
