Today DH and I graduated from walking to walking 5 minutes, running 30 seconds (6-7 reps, with stretching afterwards). It felt WONDERFUL! DH is so pleased and amazed at the progress he’s made.
We found that my pace and DH’s pace are quite different-DH runs much faster than I do. I still have a lot of my conditioning left from the last time I did this program, so the 30 seconds were almost too easy. DH challenged me to run at his pace to make up for it. It was a challenge, but it wasn’t -too difficult, so I may continue to do that (as long as nothing feels bad).
We’ll be taking it one day at a time for now. If DH feels okay tomorrow, then we might do a repeat of today. If anything is sore, then we’ll just go for a walk. I have the ‘official’ beginner’s program printed out and on the fridge, and we’ll use that as a general guide.
