I've been pretty religiously sticking to my back-to-running-plan so far. Last week I was at 3 minute walk + 1 min run by which at the end of 45 minutes I covered on average 4.5km of which the distance run was approximately 1.6km. Now its time to level up.
Level up as per my original plan = 3 min walk + 1.5 min run. And I'm not feeling entirely sure of this. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time on my return to running plan and some weeks it gets subjected to a few tweaks based on how I’m doing. In the interest of gradual progress, I’ve altered the plan now, whereby I'm going to stay at the 1 min run interval but reduce the walk interval to 2 minutes. This would give me a few more weeks to get to the phase where I’m running more than I’m walking.
My concern with the original plan was that over the course, it had me reducing the walk interval while increasing the run interval at the same time. From week to week, it was a big jump in the total distance run during the 45 minutes. Now I feel I should drop the walk interval down to 1 min before starting to increase the run intervals. It may mean taking things even slower but cautious is definitely better than sorry!
