Week 2 day 1 last night. It's still pretty easy running - just 90 second intervals interspersed with 2 minutes of walking, so I'm trying to build speed. I alternate running an 11 min/mile pace with a 12 min/mile pace (and walked at 17 min/mile pace). That doesn't really seem like that much....on the treadmill it's the difference between 5.5mph and 5.0 mph. But it feels like a big difference when I'm running. :)
I think I'm already starting to see a difference in stamina this time. I walk up 2 flights of stair at work, not that much, but enough to get me winded by the top. And yesterday and today I wasn't nearly as winded.
I've also started lifting weights. I'm not sure I'm doing them right because I'm not sore today, at all. Maybe a little stiff, but not sore. Perhaps some personal training might be in order...
