Ok, I almost never run, it is not a part of my regiment. Pushing prowler, pulling trucks, Kettlebells, Olympic lifts - all of these, maybe, but running is not it.
Still, I used to run during 2006 and parts of 2007 and worked up to 30 minute 5k's and 67 minute 10k's.
I, also, used to do 5k every workday morning or so, about 15 miles per week for about 3-6 month while dropping some body fat.
Ok, ok. Why am I sharing this? I jogged for 3 minutes yesterday and did not even feel my sternum, I covered about .3 miles.
Today, Thursday, is the day when I do something more than the week before. Last week I speed-walked 4miles in 57 minutes. So, today I did 5 miles in 1hr 1 minute. Here is the link: http://runkeeper.com/user/thegymguy/activity/85629189?&mobile=false
Basically, I did 40 intervals at 30 seconds jog/run and 60 seconds speed walks. That is 90 second intervals and 40 of them. This got me an hour of exercise and exactly 5 miles.
Too lazy to do the math, but basically it was total time of 20 minutes running and 40 minutes speed walking that added up to 5 mph.
So, why am I so giddy. This is something that I have not done in years and my limiting factor today was not lungs, not heart (HR of 120-140 was observed) but my adductors and even quads
To the runners here, at least for me, week 5 is when you can jog or maybe even sooner, and do not be surprised if it feels awesome.
