I got my official training guide on Wednesday, so today I decided to try the first day run/walk to see what it will be like. As a beginner they have it set up where I can choose from 3 different levels. I decided to try level 2. This program will officially start on Monday the 1st of Feb. The one I did today was easy run for 1 minute then walk for 1 minute. I did this pattern 15 times for a total of 30 minutes. I went ahead and did a cool down walk at the end to round out my treadmill session to 35 minutes. Level 2 seems like a good level for me to start. I think level 1 would be too easy.
I am going to do some running on the pavement tomorrow. Not a lot, just so I can see what it feels like. I usually run/walk on a treadmill, so I really do need to start on pavement if I'm going to be ready for June 26th race day. I know it will be different; probably a lot more jarring on my body. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!
