C25K - W1D6
The C25K program consists of three workouts per week for nine weeks. I’m off schedule, but this is the results of the workout for week one, day six. No, there is not supposed to be a day six. But, I repeated the level for this week until it was completed successfully. Program: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Brisk five-minute cool-down walk. Results: I completed the workout. Finally, I completed it as intended. I managed to run all eight of the sixty second run segments. Compared with the prior run attempts, I concentrated on keeping a slow steady speed and not letting myself run too quickly. My distance was just slightly less than the last workout at 1.60 miles. Overall average was 3.20 mph. My runs were just a little faster than my walks. My heart rate stayed in a good range, moving between zones three and four out of five. I wore my VFFs and Injinji socks on the asphalt path again. Though it was 88F, the humidity was only 58%. It was warm, but manageable. My achilles and calves burned again, but not as much as before. During the walks between the later run segments, I did some quick mini-lunges to stretch the calves a little. I think that helped with the subsequent runs. I had to push it some, but I finally made it through the week one level.
