Today my day for the treadmill. After the 5 minute warm up I ran 1 minute at 5mph. I had trouble finding a rhythm and was practiclly out of breath. I then walked 5 minutes, and my next run was better and went for 2 minutes. I did this 2 run; 5 walk until I hit 5 minutes. My last run I went for 3 minutes and I felt so much smoother. I think the 3 minute run might work well for my next workout with the 5 minute walks in between.

GOOD JOB!!!!

Very soon you will be telling us, "I ran my first mile today"!

Yea, for my longer runs... over 5-6 miles... I do a 5 minute walk and 2 minute run combo. I will typically average around a 11:30 minute mile doing this. It really makes my long runs tolerable.
