Happy Hump Day!! I made it to the middle of Week #2. Today's workout - Run/ Walk = 40 minutes. I had a GREAT workout today. My legs are starting to feel stronger and less cramping when I run during my 3 minute intervals. The best part of my workout, I completed 2 miles in 38.5 minutes which gives me a 19.25 minute / mile pace time. In 10 days time, I've cut almost 6 minutes off my mile pace time. This is wonderful and so unexpected. I never thought I would "chop" this much time off my pace in such a short amount of time.
I know I know - before you even say it, I already know the question. "Are you pushing yourself too hard?" Answer: No. I sticking with my workout plans and not pushing myself beyond my set plan. I think my time is increasing because my lungs and legs are getting better with every workout. I can run easily for 3 minutes straight without having to take a 20 second break at the 2 minute mark. (which was my issue last week) I'm keeping my heart rate around 80% of my max level.

Trainer Tip: Stretch after every workout when the muscles are warm to maintain or improve flexibility and prevent injuries.
Tomorrow is a well deserved rest day. No walking or running allowed. Rest days are a great thing to look forward to during a week of workouts.
Happy Running!
