Training Days: 4 days
Total Time of Each Session: 30 minutes
Objective: Jog for 25 minutes. and walk at a fast pace for 5 minutes
I've been writing all along about how much I trust this training schedule. This week has me perplexed and considering if I should alter it a bit. Last week, I was running for a total of 40 minutes. Granted it was separated by 5 minutes of walking in the middle but still, a total of 40 minutes. This week I will be upping the interval by 5 minutes to 25 minutes but . . . that's it . . . only one interval.
I am considering maybe trying to use this week's workouts to up my pace a bit this week. Either that or I should just do two 25 minute intervals, but I've been careful to be REALLY literal about all of the training so far, so I hate to start changing it too much. I think I've been so literal about it so far for mostly mental reasons. If I start changing it . . . even a little bit . . . I'm worried it will lead to "fudging" time and mileage and stuff. I told you I was "black and white" about life.
However, I also don't want to push the pace too much and get injured or something. I guess I could also just use the extra time to stretch since that has not been as consistent as I would have liked. I dunno. I'll let you know what I decide.
Either way . . . the thing I'm most excited about for this week is that it is my LAST week with "official" walking built it. Yep, you know what that means---next week, "I'm a RUNNER!!"
Whoo-hoo official runner! I think you are smart to judge your character re: "fudging" your workouts. I know I am the same way. Give a little and you lose a LOT! I think you are doing great, keep up the good work! Happy running!
