Interval Training
I jogged 3/4 of a mile today. How? One piece at a time! LOL! I believe the technical term for that is interval training.
I warmed up for five minutes and then started alternating a 1 minute jog at 5 MPH with a 1 minute walk at 3 MPH. I could only do this six times before I got a cramp in my side and my lower back pain kicked in. So, I walked until I felt better, then did two 1/8 mile intervals.
I found a cool beginner’s running schedule at CoolRunning.com. Perhaps I’ll give that a try. (Adjusted for my short legs of course… lol)
