couch-to-5k ~ week 6

Jumping right in...

Day 1:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-10:00 - Jog (5 min)
10:00-13:00 - Walk (3 min)
13:00-21:00 - Jog (8 min)
21:00-24:00 - Walk (3 min)
24:00-29:00 - Jog (5 min)
Cool Down

Day 2:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-15:00 - Jog (10 min)
15:00-18:00 - Walk (3 min)
18:00-28:00 - Jog (10 min)
Cool Down

Day 3:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-30:00 - Jog (25 min)
Cool Down

Reminder: In order to keep up with the distance as well as the time factors, the jog should be at a pace of 6 mph (10 minute mile). I've had to slow down to 5.5 and sometimes 5 mph during certain intervals, so right now I'm more focused on duration as opposed to distance until I'm better conditioned.

couch-to-5k ~ week 5

Oh, I'm so behind! But since no one called me out on it, I'm not too worried about letting down the masses. Even so, I like to finish what I start, so I will continue to post. I will still be working on Week 4 (just got back from vacation and though I didn't get any treadmill time in, I did walk miles and miles each day, so hopefully I haven't slipped too far down my progress.)

Week 5 gets a little trickier as you won't be doing three identical routines.

Day 1:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-10:00 - Jog (5 min)
10:00-13:00 - Walk (3 min)
13:00-18:00 - Jog (5 min)
18:00-21:00 - Walk (3 min)
21:00-26:00 - Jog (5 min)
Cool Down

Day 2:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-13:00 - Jog (8 min)
13:00-18:00 - Walk (5 min)
18:00-26:00 - Jog (8 min)
Cool Down

Day 3:
1:00-5:00 - Brisk Walk
5:00-25:00 - Jog (20 min)--eek! 2 years ago this was no problem for me, but now I'm nervous!
