In order to improve my fitness I have started 'power' walking at lunchtime.
As far as I can see this means walking a bit faster than I would normally walk.....and well that's about it actually.
Until yesterday.
Yesterday I thought I would jog the circuit thus getting a better workout and proving to myself that I can still do it. The circuit in question is 2 miles and completely flat.
With stopwatch in hand I set off.
6 minutes later I am wondering how I managed to run over 100 miles a week in my late teens!!! It felt like I was running through treacle! Not only that but I am now walking for a bit.......
I suppose it sensible. There was no way I was going to be able to run the 2 miles (altho my stupid brain thought it could). So run for 6 mins, walk a bit, run for 3 mins, walk, run for 2 mins, walk, 2 mins, walk and then 2 mins at the end.
When I walk round the circuit it takes about 35 mins. Running I did it in 23, so it wasn't as bad as I first feared.
My goal now?
Break 20 mins!
