RE: Morning Run: Negatively splitting

in EXHAUST3 months ago

Wow, that is pretty cool and a great way to reuse the space. I usually walk for five minutes which puts me almost to a quarter of a mile, then I run for two minutes or so and then walk for another five or so. I try to do that a couple of times. I also adjust my incline a bit. I made it three minutes straight this morning on my first run. That second two minute run my legs felt like jelly.

Sort:  

There are various training plans for this such as Couch to 5k. Following one of those may help. When I first started running I was exhausted after a half mile. Now that is barely a warm-up. It takes time to build the endurance.

I think that is part of my problem too. After that first two minute run, my breath is basically gone. I need to learn the proper way to breathe while I am running. I've seen the couch to 5k and our treadmill has preprogrammed stuff in it, but I haven't checked any of those out yet.

Take longer breaks if you need it so you are ready to run again.

:) I've usually only got about 20 minutes to work with in the mornings, so I have to try and fit it all into that.
