One of the reasons I decided to sign up for a half marathon in May is that it would theoretically give me enough time to get in shape. But without a schedule, I'm useless. And by useless, I mean lazy. That's why I spent today, a much needed rest day after running too hard yesterday and then going out for new year's, figuring out a schedule. I looked up a few schedules online for 0-5k and 5k-half marathon and then adapted them to fit into my time frame.
Here's what we have in store for tomorrow:
Warm up: 5-7 minutes at 4mph
Jog 0.25 miles
Walk about 0.1 miles at 4mph
Jog 0.5 miles
Walk 0.25 miles at 4mph
Repeat entire sequence
Cool down
My goal is to keep the jogs at 5.3-5.5 mph. Yesterday I was at 5.3 but I ran longer distances each time, tomorrow I'm only jogging 0.25-0.5 miles each time so hopefully I can pick up the pace a very very very little bit. Or is that a bad idea?
I'll let you know tomorrow!
