I'm fucking doing this! But I haven't done significant cardio in over a year now, so I need to get on the training ball. I'll now be doing seperate entries for my Convict Conditioning program and my RFYL training. I have not selected a specific program yet, but I think I can spend the first couple of months just getting myself to the point where I can run 5k again.
March 4
10 Intervals- 1 min jog : 1 min walk
Time: 20 min
Felt really good. Nice and easy, not too taxing; just getting the body used to moving again.
March 6
20 minute jog with the wife. Set the timer for intervals of 10 minutes, thinking we'd just wing the jog/walk intervals and probably walk most of it. We jogged the vast majority of it :)
March 8
10 intervals - 1:1
Felt good. Chose a less hilly route than before because my calves are destroyed. I forgot that my body has a harsh acclimation period when I start running: namely, my calves can't fucking handle.
I suppose now is a good time to state the goals.
Short term: Run at least 3 times a week until I can run 3 miles without stopping, without feeling like I got my ass kicked, and without debilitating soreness on the following day(s).
Mid term: Run 3 miles faster. Add obstacle training such as climbing and jumping.
Long term: Complete RFYL without feeling like I wasted my money.
