Sorry about no post on Monday. I typically try and post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but, this Monday I was pressed for time in the evening and was a bit drained after my cardio session that day. Why was I so drained, you may ask. I initiated Phase III! That's why.
Here's a quick break down of the 3rd Phase:
- Walk for 4 minutes. Run for 2 minutes.
- Repeat that sequence four more times.
- End with 3 minutes of walking.
- Total Workout time: 33 minutes, 10 of which are running.
So, I started that on Monday and so far both cardio sessions have gone well. As I mentioned on last weeks post, I did Monday's session on a track to see how my foot numbness would react on a flat even surface. Well, 20 minutes in, left foot went numb. So, it doesn't seem to have to much to do with incline or decline. Even though the track was very boring, and it being a Monday, my pace was not too bad at all.
Here's Monday's run report:
Monday - 14May12
Time: 33:00
Distance: 2.18 miles
Pace: 15:08 min/mi
Today I went back to doing the 1st run route (1st half uphill and the 2nd half downhill). I really enjoy the change of scenery and the bit going downhill, but, the uphill segment kicks my calves imaginary butts! Also, at the 20 minute mark again, my left foot went completely numb and most of my right foot followed suit. If I could find a nice stretch of semi-flat road to run on at Fort Huachuca I would be pleased as punch.
Here's today's run report:
Wednesday - 16May12
Time: 33:01
Distance: 2.18 miles
Pace: 15:07 min/mi
Good news is I am feeling really good at the end of these runs, and in today's case, I was really able to push it out on the last couple of run segments. It feels good to go fast(ish)! Once again, I really need to find a flat road out here, preferably not a busy one.
Well, I'm going to finish up my bowl of cereal and close out for the evening. Until next time.
