10k
Ok, so, the marathon was on Friday and while I did go see it, I obviously never made it to that goal of running the 10k. Whatever. It's been hard to train because I've been sick on and off the last few months but I am sure it's a bit of a catch-22 since being so unhealthy probably makes me sicker which makes it harder to train and thus get healthier which...well, you get the idea.
So, new plan. I have the same goal, but now a whole year to get there.
1) I'm not going to limit my diet, not yet at least. Not that I don't need to, but I know if I try and start there I'll probably fail. So I'll eat how I eat and work on my exercise levels, for now.
2) I'm going to get on that treadmill minimum 5 days a week, ideally 7.
3) I'm going to start nice and easy. 4kph for half an hour, on the fat burn setting for three ten-minute cycles. I can already do this easily so it's a good place to start.
4) Once a week I will hit the speed button, once. So a week at 4, a week at 4.2, a week at 4.4, etc.
I'm not yet sure how/when I'll increase the time.
I know I am not following any on the online schedules of walk/run alternations because I tried that last year and it was just too stressful. This way I'll park the computer in front of the treadmill, hop on, pump the speed once a week and walk/jog/run my way through an episode of Amazing Race or Walking Dead (heh, get it?)
Now it's time to get on it!
