I actually achieved my goal on the treadmill today! I warmed up at .5, 1.5 and 2.5 mph for 5 minutes. Then I went for 10 minutes at 3.0 mph! Yes 3.0! I haven't went the entire time at 3 mph... I gave in and put it back down to 2.5 or 2.7. Then I jogged at 3.5 mph for 15 seconds and then ran at 4.5 mph for 15 seconds. Then back down to 3.0 for another 5 minutes. And then I did the 15 seconds of jogging at 3.5 mph and then 15 seconds of running at 4.5. Then another 5 minutes at 3.0. Last a cool down for 5 minutes at the above speeds.... at 1/2 mph it seemed like I was crawling after that!!! I sweat my butt off!!! It was running down my back .. down my face! It was a great workout. However, I need to learn how to breath- I guess that comes with endurance. I worked on the machines as well but I didn't hit them as hard as I could have. Next time at the gym I want to work the machines harder. Maybe do 15 min on the treadmill and then onto the machines. And then the last gym for this week (which will make it four times) I will go back to the full workout on the treadmill. But I am happy I proved I could do the treadmill..... keeping it up is still going to be a challenge. :-)
Love and Hugs,
Me
