Week 1 Session 1
Ok, first real session.
Have previously been pushing myself to do a straight 1 mile as fast as i can, (best of 9:22) turns out this is not the way to start running!
Have a program now which says:
5 minute warm up walk, then alternate 60 seconds running with 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Easy i thought, if i can run a straight mile this should be a piece of the proverbial.
God did i get a surprise, calves hurt like hell and the 60 second runs seemed like 5 minutes. Got to stick with it though i suppose.
The plan says do this for 3 sessions per week (every other day) and within 9 weeks i should be upto 3 miles!
Time will tell.

Howdy! Good start on your site! The best way to get discouraged or worse, injured, is to do too much too fast! Think baby steps-baby steps. Happy trails, Bruce
