Running Ninja's Training – Week 1 Report

I decided to ditch the Couch-to-5K training program for Running Ninja’s. The 1min walking interval was too short for a beginner like me. I have been constantly experiencing foot pain with it. Running Ninja’s program for Week 01 goes like this:

Wk#	Day 01	Day 02	Day 03
Wk01	Walk for 6 minutes, then jog at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.	Walk for 6 minutes, then jog at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.	Walk for 6 minutes, then jog at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.

On the other hand, I think the 6min walk is way too long for me but I decided to stick with the plan. This week I’ll be doing Week 02 training and I am not that confident that I can make the 2min run. Worst case, I might do a 1min-run / 4min-walk instead.

Follow my training on Daily Mile.

Side Note: I decided to trade, temporarily, my 120GB 6th Gen iPod Classic for a friend’s 2GB 2nd Gen iPod Nano. The latter is more jogging-friendly than the former.

Jeff, ingatan mo yan! Huwag mong ibabagsak!
