Goal was a 30-minute workout with a warmup, 13-minute run and a cooldown. Managed 14 minutes by Wednesday. Thought of reducing the number of days to run in order to reduce the risk of injury. So here is the new workout pattern.
4 days elliptical intertwined with 3 days of running, with the goal of burning a minimum of 600 calories in a 2-day period.
Am doing the elliptical at Level 4 for 35 minutes with a 5 minute warmup and cooldown at Level 1.
And since I am into the 4th week of running already, here is the kicker. I am able to finally run 20 minutes at 5 mph with a 8 minute warmup and a 8 minute cooldown!!!
Next running goal: 21 minutes to be conservative, as usual.
Long term goal: Run 30 minutes comfortably at 5mph with a 8 minute warmup and a 5-8 minute cooldown.
Am expecting to reach this by the end of March. Letsee how that goes. Wish myself best of luck!!!
