The Decision

Why did I retire? Because I could!

When Will I Be Able To Run?

Today's work-out pretty much mirrored yesterday's, except I did 4 sets on Bowflex instead of the sprint-circuit.  I need to ensure I include cardio as well weight training each time.

When I was working with a trainer, we had one-hour sessions and managed to squeeze in all aspects of the training I need.  Now that I'm doing this on my own, I'm finding it takes at lease 90 minutes.  I think the biggest difference is the 20+ minutes on the treadmill which I didn't do with Bre. I can do 3,000 meters on the rowing machine. But, I still can't run/jog for more than 1 minute at a time in between brisk walking (level 30). Even when I was in peak shape training for judo tournaments, I had a hard time running.  I Wonder why that is?  It's not that I'm out of breath, and my muscles are toned, but my whole body just wants to slow down.

  2. I don't run either but am trying to run a bit longer each time when I am on the treadmill. I keep telling myself I am aiming for progress.
