Holy smokes, girls! The unthinkable has happened! Yesterday, while doing my interval workout on the treadmill, I... wait for it.... RAN!
There I was, doing my one-minute work set when I realized that I was needing to pump up the speed in order to get to my PER (perceived exertion rating). It was too fast to walk, so I started to jog! It was only for a minute and my heart rate skyrocketed to 160 (just above cario HR), but I did it!! After my minute was up, I did my 3-minute rest set, and then went back to jogging for TWO minutes!! I thought I was gonna die, but I did it again! It was kinda surreal. I'm sure I looking completely goofy jogging on the treadmill, but I don't care! There is NO WAY I could have done that for even 10 seconds four months ago!
My next workout is Thursday afternoon and I am going to try to jog all my work sets. WOOT!!
fantastic!!! That's just great. And I bet it just felt darn near perfect no matter how hard it was!
