Distance: 2.86 mi
Time: 34 min
Intervals run/Walk: 5/1
So, I headed out the door for another 2 mile jont. Today was going to be my first day to implement the run/walk method. I planned to run 5 minutes followed by a 1 minute run. It was going so well, no hot spots at the one mile mark , so I course corrected and tacked on another .43 miles. By the time I had covered 2 miles I realized that it may have been a little too enthusiastic to add the extra mileage given that my form is still off and I could feel some significant hot spots. When I got home I found 2 significant blisters, one on the fourth toe on my right foot and one on the big toe of my left foot
and one on the outside of my left foot.
Now back to the experiment for the day, interval training, I really enjoyed the walk breaks, they allowed me to mole over what I was doing right and wrong as well as provide recovery time. I do feel that 5 min is too much run time between walk breaks, so I on Tuesday, my next run, I'm going to reduce the intervals to a 3/1 run/walk ratio.
