Run Journal # 2 - April 17, 2018
Introduction: This is a run series journal that I aim to update regularly. My objective for posting is to give myself a check and hopefully implant the discipline of being consistent with my fitness plan into my system. I invite everyone who comes across this journal to also adopt a healthier lifestyle and be more active and fit. Your fitness goals may not be the same as mine, but let's try to achieve our goals together.
Latest Run (Week 1, Day 2)
This was actually my first run following my plan to do 3 sets of 5-minute walks and 5-minute jogs. The 5-minute jogs turned out to be slightly tiring towards the end, so I slowed my pace down a bit to complete the intervals.
- Fastest 5-minute jogs: 13:32 min/mi on the 1st set
- Slowest 5-minute jogs: 15:02 min/mi on the 3rd set
- Fastest 5-minute walks: 17:29 min/mi on the 1st set
- Slowest 5-minute walks: 21:22 min/mi on the 3rd set
Going forward, I will maintain the same training program for Week 1 until I feel I am ready to move to a more challenging program.
Week 1
Training Program: 3 sets of 5-minute walks, followed by 5-minute slow jogs.
(Disclaimer: I am not following any expert recommended training plan here. I just want to gauge my tolerance level and get into the groove of this lifestyle again.)

There is a saying, ”It’s not important how much you can do today, but how much you can do tomorrow.” As my seba (teacher) always says, pay attention to your body. Good luck.
