Week 20 is done! (in fact, I started week 21 this morning!)
4 weeks from now, I will be starting the month of weeks where all I do in my workouts is jog. It’s amazing to be so close to that threshhold. I know this has taken a long time, but I feel like I structured this all perfectly. This next set of 4 weeks, I’m working my way from 6 minutes racewalking/24 minutes jogging in the workout to 2 minutes racewalking/28 minutes jogging in the workout. I feel like I’m slowing down in terms of my jogging pace the longer I go, but at the same time, even my slow, slow, slow jogging pace is faster than I was walking, so I’m still feeling like I can pull off 40 minutes for the 5k. We’ll see what happens as I get into the weeks of all jogging.
I had a good week with strength training. It was my second week of the new program, and I definitely feel like doing the strength training is going to make me stronger in the long run. And it’s good to finally be really working my arms.
