5 and 1....interval training

The Garmin runners watch is a good method to train with. You can set the amount of time that you want to run and walk all in one and it beeps to let you know when to run and when to start walking! It's expensive, but worth it!

The 5 and 1, consists of running for 5 minutes straight, then power walking for 1 minute. (You can do 3 and 1 or 4 and 1, it's up to what you are willing and able to do, but challenge yourself).

Breathing: Take deep breaths into your lungs as you run so that your body can get oxygen. Suck the breaths in deep then out through your mouth. As you get better at running, no one will notice that you are doing this, it will come natural.

As my cuz would say, we not out here trying to look cute, so take the deep breaths! If you feel yourself gasping for air, you are running too fast! Slow down!


Motivation!
