Week 6b : Wednesday : Cool Running

Leave a Comment

Day 20 : 5 m warm-up / 10 min jog /2 min walk / 3 min jog / 2 min walk / 2 min jog / 4 min walk

Total: 28 minutes - walking (13 min) / jogging (15 min)

I’m not sure what is up with me this week.  I didn’t have a break in my weeks but this week kicking my ass.  I wasn’t even able to jog week’s 6 program today.  After I was done, I had a bright red face (like I do when I push myself that extra bit).  But I wasn’t “pushing” today.  I was just trying to survive today’s workout.  blah.

So… I think I’m going to keep a plateau for awhile here and try to push through this that way.  I’m not really ready to move on to week 7′s (running 25 min straight) and I’m not even doing week 6 this week.  So I think I’m just going to try and make sure I’m running 15 minutes. I thought I got in 20 but then when I went back and figured out my time, I realize that I only got in 15 running.  I’d like to be consistently running 20 minutes each workout.  So for now, I’m going to drop the Cool Running workout plan and try to get 20 minutes of running for the next two weeks.  Then I’ll come back to the Cool Running week 6 and try it again.

Hoping to running as  5m warm-up / 10 min jog / 5 min walk / 10 min jog / 5 min walk  but I might have to break that 2nd 10 minutes up into two 5′s. Not sure if it’s me or if it’s the heat or what the hell is going on.  Just not with it this week.
