The plan:
I chose a 16 week training plan that I got off of Garmin Connect. The workouts are sent right to my GPS watch so it tells me exactly what to do right on my wrist. What I love about this plan is that it includes so much more than running. I'll be cross training, lifting, and even doing some swimming and pilates! I figure this program will help me get on track to becoming a well-round athlete ( <---- did I just say ATHLETE!?) by the time this is all said and done.
The first week:
Day 1: Cross training- 30 minutes! I ended up on the Arc Trainer :) that thing is HARD!
Day 2: Easy run
- Run, easy pace, 30 minutes
- Cool down, 5-10 minutes
- Stretch
Day 3: Cross training - I got myself over to a "Core & More" fitness class that really kicked my butt
Day 4: Easy run - Same run as day 2, but I was SORE from the day before. I was SO HAPPY to make it to rest day!
Day 5: REST DAY !!! *Today actually :) I'm planning on going to the gym with a book to do some easy walking. Trying to hit my step goal 30 days in a row! Oh, and a sauna will probably be happening too!
Day 6: Pilates - I plan on heading over to The Balanced Life youtube channel and doing the first four videos in the Pilates Summer Series! Each video is 5-10 minutes long so it's totally doable!
Day 7: Run - This was actually listed as 'long run' on my plan which is funny because it's actually shorter than the others! The plan is to bump up the speed a bit :)
- Walk, brisk pace, 10 minutes
- Run, easy pace, 20 minutes
- Cool down, 5-10 minutes
- Stretch
So far I'm loving this plan and feeling great! :) thanks everybody for your support and love! 106 days to go!
