For whatever silly reason, I have decided that I need to improve my cardiovascular fitness. Thus I am embarking on a program of running that I came across on the wonderful site lifehack.org, not to be confused with the equally wonderful lifehacker.com. The program is simple, and involves 30 minutes of walking / jogging a day. In the begining it is weighted much more toward the walking and over the course of 10 weeks evolves into a complete half hour of running. The article is full of other great tips, and is worth reading if you are thinking of getting into better shape. Below is the schedule of walking / running. I’ll let you know how it goes. If you don’t hear from me for a while, assume it did not go so well and come looking for me.
- 1R , 4W x 6 times. Week 1
- 1R , 3W x 7 times. Week 2
