My Workouts:
Mostly running..especially now that I signed up for a marathon. I run on the treadmill or at a nearby walking trail, but with the longer distances I'll have during training, I'll probably find some new places to run. I also use Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and Bob Harper's 1 hour strength training DVDs. My schedule right now looks like this:
Monday and/or Wednesday: Shred or strength training
Tuesday and Thursday: 30 minute run
Friday: walk
Saturday (or Sunday if I don't have time on Saturday): Long distance run
I use the 30 minute runs to increase speed. Each time, I try to go a little bit faster for a little longer. So, one day, I might start my first 25 minutes running at a 5.5(about 11 min/mile) and then run the last 5 minutes at 6.0 (10 min/mile). The next time I run, I'll try to split my time 20 minutes at 11 minute/mile and then run the last 10 minutes at 10 minute/mile.
For my long distance runs, I try to run at a slower speed the whole time, around 11-12 minute/mile.
*My new, SMALLER clothes that I ordered arrived a couple days ago! I've gone down one size in my jeans! I wore a pair of my regular jeans today with a belt and it was just baggy and uncomfortable! What a great feeling! Finally feels like I'm getting somewhere! Can't wait to go down to the next size!
