Today was a busy, but good, exercise day that consisted of a 30-minute Run/Walk, 1-hour of elliptical, and 1.5-hours of aqua jogging. My 30-minute Run/Walk marked the end of “Step 1” on my “Return to Running” program:
4 min run / 2 min walk x 4- 5 min run / 2 min walk x 4
- 10 min run / 1 min walk x 3
- 15 min run / 1 min walk x 3
- 20 min run
- 25 min run
- 30 min run
This means that tomorrow will be a rest day, and then I should start “Step 2” on Monday. It’s slow going, but at least I felt great again today. I am noticing that my heart rate is a LOT higher when running than I’m used to, but I guess that’s to be expected after a 5 1/2 week break.
In total my Run/Walk was 3.05-miles in 31:08 with an average pace of 10:13 per mile.
Beast Mode…ON!
