Mum and Dad were going to name Mason 'Dash'. He's probably faster than me, but his refusal to ever move at a rate greater than a goatee'd, argyle-clad sloth should entitle me to the title, I think. My running is still in baby-stages, as I'm trying to get very comfortable with the first step of the running program before I move on to the next. 60-90 is generally do-able, but I have to get up the guts to expand to 90-120. Six repeats instead of eight. It'll mess up my usual counting system of 'South, West, North, East, South, West, North, East' around McKinley Park. Ah well. Change is good, right?
Addendum: I did it. It turns out that 90 seconds run, 120 seconds walk is quite a it harder than 60-90. But I lived, and the nice, elderly gent who is always going counterclockwise while I go clockwise was there, so we said good morning about three times.
What running program are you using? What are 60-90/90-120? Minutes of running?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the 'Cool Running Couch-to-5K' program. It's seconds, actually. (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)
ReplyDelete60 running, 90 walking, repeat for twenty minutes. Now I'm up to 90 running, 120 walking. I have a watch that beeps to tell me when to change up what I'm doing.
That's rad! Good luck!
