Training Days: 3Total Time of Each Session: 30 minutes
Objective: Fast walking pace (13-16 min./mile)
Should be a fairly easy week as far as the time involved. I experimented with the pace yesterday morning to see what 13-16 min./mile felt like, and honestly (for walking) it felt REALLY fast and hard to maintain. I think it will be an effort to maintain this pace.
What I am MOST excited about for the week is doing my Friday workout in Albuqueque with my mom!!! She's offered to join me, and I think it will be so much fun I will probably want to walk for an hour! I'm excited to have my Garmin chart a new course and also to see if the increased altitude in Albuquerque will have an effect on my heart rate. I found this article that briefly talks about the effect of altitude during exercise. It looks like increased breathing rate, increased heart rate and possibly even "giddiness" can be expected.
FYI: I have always thought the word "giddy" meant lighthearted silliness and excitement, but I looked it up (just in case I needed to warn my mom that I might laugh or giggle on our walk.) It can also mean a dizzy or lightheaded sensation.
We'll see how it goes in "the Q."
