First run of the week was a success.
Similar to last weeks run but I can tell that my endurance is getting better.
I ran 3 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill.
I had it on the 'hills' setting to get the different levels.
I started running at speed 6 - 6.5 for about a mile.
Once I thought I was going to die I slowed it down to 4.
I walked just until I got my breathing back in check and went back up to a 6.5.
I varied between 6 - 7 until I got towards the end of my second mile then turned it up to 8.
I ran at 8 until I hit that second mile then went back down to a 6.
If I need to, I will take it back down to 4 after running at 8 but the 6 was good enough for me this time.
I lasted another half a mile and then put it down to a 4 for about a minute.
Doing the hills on the treadmill is awesome but man! It's work!
I finished my 3rd mile at a 6 - 6.5.
When I was finish I always stretch my muscles and use the back of the treadmill and the wall behind me for balance.
If I'm really feeling it, I will do walking lunges behind the treadmills as I make my way to the front to leave.
Make sure to have protein within 30 minutes of exercising to help build your muscles back up.
When you work out, you are actually tearing your muscles.
When you take protein, it helps rebuild that muscle which makes them bigger or more defined.
I can't drink just protein powder plain.
I will make a shake with frozen fruit, a banana, 1 yogurt(any flavor), ice and protein powder.
They are soo good!
If you don't have protein powder, scramble some eggs and there you go! :)
Last night was a "Welcome to Utah" moment!
Sunday was gorgeous weather with the sun out and short sleeved shrits on.
Yesterday was windy and snowing!
Ha! Only in Utah... :)
Happy Tuesday!
