Podcast Album: Learning To Walk Before You Can Run
Track 10 – Learning To Run Stage 7 Brought To You By: MyWeightLossDream.co.uk
Welcome to the tenth track in our learning to walk before you can run series of podcasts and thanks for downloading me. Well I don’t mean me, I mean the podcast but I am sure you know what I mean! I hope you don’t mind but we are going to jump straight in with this podcast and to get you moving. Chapter 1 – Introduction To Stage 7 Stage 7 is about testing what your fitness level is now at. We all have different levels of fitness and this is all about appreciating your own. Can you jog 1km now without stopping? Could you do 2km? Could you do a total time of 12 minutes? These are all questions that you want to know the answer to. This is why this stage has been developed and then a few stages down the line we will do it again just to see how you are coming along. Stage 7 Begin with a 500m brisk walk, then jog for as long as you can, get your breath back, then jog again until you have done a total distance of 3200. Chapter 2 – Stage 7 Running Diary I always get nervous when I set myself goals like this. We are following an exact system and this is the chance to go off plan and see what your body is really capable of. Don’t push yourself too far as you can
end up poorly, just go beyond what you did in stage 6 and see what you can achieve. Ninth run = 29th June 2015 = 3450m = 34 minutes Hello stage 7 and this stage is all about assessing what your fitness levels are at. Remember, you have now done eight runs and without realising it you have built up your stamina without feeling too bad about it. Therefore stage 7 is about starting with a brisk walk then jogging until you can’t take it anymore, and then having a break, getting your breath back completely and then finishing with some more jogging. Obviously, I am talking to beginners here, so no Forrest Gump antics where you feel like running from one side of America to the other ď Š Then from whatever you manage you want to go onto the next stage achieving 80% of this. That way you won’t feel like you have pushed yourself too much. For example I manage 10 minutes, then have a nine minute break and do another 4 minutes. However I do believe I could have reduced my breaks if I had stuck with a 80% level and done 8 minutes followed by about 4 minutes. Though, it is very interesting to see where my fitness levels are at. Thanks for listening to track 10 and thanks very much for your support.
