Week 3, Day 2 - Couch 2 5K Program

I was looking forward to my run today. It was a gorgeous, hot, sunny, Southern Cali day! I felt like I was dragging a bit, but once I got out in the sunshine my spirits soared and I was off!

This is how it went:

Warm up: 5 - 10 minutes Static Stretching:

• Hip Flexors
• Quads
• Calves
• Abductors (inner thighs)

Podcast - Week 3 - Day 2:

• 5 minutes brisk walking
• 90 seconds running
• 90 seconds brisk walking
• 3:00 minutes running
• 3:00 minutes brisk walk
• 90 seconds running
• 90 seconds brisk walking
• 3:00 minutes running
• 3:00 minutes brisk walk
• 5:00 minutes brisk walk

I continue to double the workout and cut the last, 5 minute cool down walk, to only 3 minutes and then repeated the intervals again:

• 90 seconds running
• 90 seconds brisk walking
• 3:00 minutes running
• 3:00 minutes brisk walking
• 90 seconds running
• 90 seconds brisk walking
• 3:00 minutes running
• 3:00 minutes brisk walking
• 5 minutes brisk walking (cool down)

I remember when the 90 second intervals seemed so long and now they just fly by. I will be curious to see how next week goes!

Cool Down: 5 minutes Static Stretching:

• Hip Flexors
• Quads
• Calves
• Abductors (inner thighs)

So glad to be doing this.
