11/5/08 Work Out

So, I have been ridiculously lazy about going to the gym and Wayne's been great. I'm so proud of him for going even though I've been a real drag lately. Well I decided to get off my lazy butt and GO. So instead totally killing myself the first time back I decided to walk. In the mean time Wayne wanted me to train him, so we did a interval type training. It went a little something like this...

Walk - 1 min.
Run - 1 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 2 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 3 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 4 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 5 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 4 min.
Walk - 1 min.
Run - 3 min.
Walk 1 min.
Run - 2 min.
Walk 1 min.
Run 1 min.
Walk 1 min.

So as you can see its a build up and tear down. On the way down I also increased his speed by .2 each run he went down. So we walked at 3.0 then ran at 6.0 and on 4 min we did 6.2, 3 min we did 6.4, 2 min we did 6.6 and 1 min we'd do 6.8 if we got there. What I'm planning on this doing is training his body to push harder toward the end. To be able to have that extra endurance later in the run. Anyway, he didn't quite make it through, but I'm proud none the less. He made it almost all the way through the 5 min, but not quite. he made it sporadically down until 2 min then had to get off. For being his first time I was rather proud. I know he thinks he let me down but he didn't. Anyway, we're working on building that up and I'm going to track it on here, just so we can see progress... That's all for now, and I'll continue to walk. :)
