Okay, lots of sweat. But this run wasn't a problem. In Week 5 you do something different every day but the podcast is the same...and listening to him give instructions for days 2 and 3 was a little unnerving. 8 minutes sounds like a long time...not to mention 20 minutes! But my head is in the right place and I think that's half the challenge. Today was three 5 minute intervals. Very satisfying. My max hr rate was right this time - 181, which I think is a good max for me. Avg was low because I forgot to stop the hrm when I took it off. So recorded at 139, I'm sure it was in the low 140s which is good too.
Feeling good. Running is doing as much for my head as it is for my body. Have I mentioned how HUNGRY I am all the time!? Good Lord! I eat all day long. Seriously. Just hungry. But I am avoiding sugar and cheap carbs - no white starchy food. Eat nuts, cheese, fruit, cottage cheese, sandwich meat. Not worrying about fats like olive oil, avocado etc, just no processed food if I can help it. All this eating and the weight is coming down. Good stuff.
