I am super late on posting this update! I went jogging on Thursday and did the same sequence as on Wednesday, but I did the 1/4 mile jogs at 6.0 mph and the 1/2 mile jogs at 5.5 mph. I've been liking the faster paces so far. I think it's because I get so caught up with making sure I do the exact distances that when I go faster, I get to that distance sooner. Not including the warm-up walk (I've been trying to keep those at a 1/2 mile at 4.0 mph since it's easier math to figure out the other distances from 0.5 than from 0.67, for example), I did 4.4 miles in 52:50 at an incline of 1.0. That's an average of 12 minutes per mile! Not too shabby... I only have 2 more weeks of this specific-distance program and then my schedule just says "Jog X miles". Then I'll really start having to work!
In related news, I still have yet to run outside. I was going to try to go today since it's so warm out but I'm still on the specific-distances program so it's hard. Also, I'm really tired today. I did not get nearly enough sleep. I am supposed to do another 4.4 miles today (again, the same sequence) but I can't convince myself to put on real clothing. Yes, it's 3:30pm and I'm still in pajamas, what about it? Maybe I'll turn on my Pandora and it will jazz me up enough to go to the gym.
It's worth a shot...
