I started jogging a mile yesterday, like I said I would. I was a little frustrated that the treadmill was so very slow in starting up! And so it took 13 minutes, 26 seconds to do a mile.
This morning, I let the treadmill go without me for 30 seconds while it got up to speed. In that time, it went 0.02 miles. At 30 seconds, I hopped on and ran for two minutes then walked for three, then repeat. I ran until the treadmill read 1.02 miles and I subtracted 30 seconds from the time.
Today my mile was 12 minutes 33 seconds.
The plan is to do 2 minutes run, 3 walk for the rest of the week, then increase the running and decrease the walking by 30 seconds each week. My goal is to run a mile in 10 minutes or less!
That’s an aggressive goal. Good luck!
A 12 minute mile is very good!! That was my time when I ran my first 5k. You are doing great!!!!
