So sadly it is only three days in and I am already doubting that this is possible. My chins are KILLING me, I had to stop and stretch three times because my chins were burning and my legs were numb. But I pushed a lot through those times and finished the thirty minutes.
My friend and I talked last night about how much harder it is to run on the concrete rather than on the treadmill and that is what kept nagging at my mind. I kept hearing myself say "you think this is hard, ha! wait till you get out there on the concrete". I just kept pushing put it definitely wasnt helping.
There was this 100 lb lady next to me who was running like it was nothing. So when it was my running interval I paced myself with her strides. I think I was a little taller than her but I had shorter legs than she does. It actually helped a lot! When I was pacing myself with someone I didnt think about the pain or about the breathing I thought step one step two step three, and it totally worked. SO thank you random lady at the gym who was my inspiration during the ahrd times.
So long story short, I did 30 minutes walk/run plus the 5 minute warm-up and 5 minute cool down. It was yet again not completely a 2 min walk/2 min run session but it is a lot of getting it started. Just keep pushin it and remember, "It isnt how fast you run, just run!"
