Week 4, Day 2 - Couch to 5K Program

I was looking forward to the run today!  I know I can do this and each week the intervals will push me a little harder and a little closer to my goal!

Another overcast day!  Love it!


Static Warm up:
Warm up: 5 - 10 minutes Static Stretching:
  • Hip Flexors
  • Quads
  • Calves
  • Adductors (inner thighs)
Podcast - Week 4 - Day 2:
  • 5 minutes brisk walking
  • 3 minutes running
  • 90 seconds brisk walking
  • 5:00 minutes running
  • 2:30 minutes brisk walk
  • 3 minutess running
  • 90 seconds brisk walking
  • 5:00 minutes running
  • 5:00 minutes brisk walk
I did the whole circuit one time through and then cut the last, 5 minute cool down walk, to only 3 minutes and then repeated the intervals again.  This time I pushed myself to do another whole circuit .  It felt good to be able to do this 2 times!  I finished with the 5 minute cool down:
  • 5 minutes brisk walking
  • 3 minutes running
  • 90 seconds brisk walking
  • 5:00 minutes running
  • 2:30 minutes brisk walk
  • 3 minutess running
  • 90 seconds brisk walking
  • 5:00 minutes running
  • 5:00 minutes brisk walk
I was glad when it was over but felt like I acheived something.
Cool Down: 5 minutes Static Stretching:
  • Hip Flexors
  • Quads
  • Calves
  • Adductors (inner thighs)
  • Piriformis
I can do this!
