Today is the end of week 2 (and beginning of week 3) of my training program to be ready for the half marathon in June. I'm feeling pretty great! Even when I don't get the right amount of sleep, I have plenty of energy!
In week one my average speed/distance was 2.2 miles in 42 minutes. In week two I beat that! The average for week two was 2.75 miles in 47 minutes!
Averages are affected by my endurance training though, which is when I walk a longer distance in preparation for the next week's increase in miles. What I like better is that last Sunday I walked as fast as I could and my rate was 2.32 in 42 minutes, but this Sunday I walked 2.74 miles in 43 minutes!!
As my friend Victoria says, Do The Dance!
This week, I'm getting my walking up to 3 miles every day and at the end of the week my distance training will be 6 miles long. We're also adding some warm-up/cardio activity and stretching prior to the walk, to potentially increase our overall speed. I'm excited!
