It feels like I’m “solidly back”! After the May month full of 2 calf strains, recovery exercises and only rowing, my third walk-run walk (or run) feels like I’m back and I’m walking strong.
Glorious morning today! Hubby, who left 10min ahead of me, was somewhere in the vicinity ripping out invasive Japanese knotweed from the countryside, but although I looked, I didn’t spot him.
My jeffing intervals for this first week back to running and active walking is
- 5 min warmup walk
- 1 min running and 1 min walking
- repeat 10 times
- 5 min cool down walk
So far so good. From next week, I’ll have to decide.
1) Should I simple increase distance and possible extend both intervals equally?
2) Or should I slowly train up to running 30 min continuously, again?
The first would give me more walking stamina, the second the satisfaction of training back up to doing normal, continuous runs.
I think I might try something inbetween, something that ensures I walk enough on my runs, but also something that extends my distance to 10k, a goal of mine.
So there we are, my ramblings about how it’s going.
How is your walking progressing? Have you achieved your goals or targets? And what are your next ones?
