Before I forget: does anyone know a good half-marathon training app to use? I’m going to need one pretty soon, so thanks in advance.
I got up pretty early today to hit the gym before having labs drawn at 8 a.m. (because I knew I’d be starving when I finished that, and I didn’t want to wait for breakfast).
I started the Couch to 10k training plan (starting at week 9, since I just finished the 5k plan).
Planned Interval Actual
walk for 5 minutes walked for 5 minutes
run 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline ran 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline
walk 1 min. walked for 1 min.
run 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline ran 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline
walk 1 min. walked 1 min.
run 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline ran 7 minutes at 4.6 mph/.5% incline
walk 1 min. walked 3 min.
run 10 min. @ 4.6 mph/1% incline ran 10 minutes at 4.6 mph/.5% interval
walk 1 min. walked 1 min.
walk for 5 min. walked 5 minutes
I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t manage that 3rd interval as planned, but I’m still really happy with this workout. My legs are still a little sore from the climbing in the 5k this weekend, so this was definitely a tough workout.
Onward and upward!
