Chris got dibs on the outdoors today so I ran on the treadmill, again.............good thing I like to listen to Chunga on the radio. I'm finding it hard to run slow for shorter distances I just can't stay at the same pace I love to pick it up some. mile 1 12:16 mile 2 12:03 mile 3 11:41 I basically kept the same pace but about every half mile I would jump up the speed to 10 min miles for about 30 sec, just enough to stretch my legs out some but not enough to get my respiration out of control. I know the goal is 4 miles today but I am walking to the childrens musuem from my sis-in-laws and I have no idea how far it is, but I am guessing we will be pushing strollers with two/three kids each for about 3-4 more miles today. So I'll update when we get back. We are back and it was 4.4 miles pushing 2-3 kids in the stroller about 20 min pace. It still hurt though. Will all this extra walking affect my training, is it good for me? I am planning on increasing my running miles 10% each week and keeping my walking miles seperate. Is that okay? |
