Two months ago, I was doing intervals of 1.5 min run & 1 min walk. In 6 weeks, I gradually brought the run interval up to 7 minutes and I was comfortably running about 1K in that time. Since then, each run, I've been walking 5 seconds less in each run/walk cycle bringing the walk interval down to 25 seconds.
Today’s run was a new milestone in my back-to-running journey. I pushed the run interval to ten and a half minutes and was able to run over 1.5K. Ran 4 sets of it with a walk interval of 25 secs in between sets. Felt really good!
My aim, ofcourse, is to transition to running longer distances at a stretch and bring that walk interval down to nothing. A few more runs and I should be there.
Incidentally, I've signed up for a 5K race on Dec 1st. The biggest motivation for this was to earn a race bib to add to my collection. This one will be my sole bib representing 2019. Now I’m really looking forward to that race environment. Its been too long!
