The first flowers of spring.

Yep that was my highlight today, i saw the first flowers of springs poking its head up from out the cold dirt this morning as i was doing my 5 mile session at 4am.. I thought yeah, soon be spring and then summer..


I had a nice session today, i didn't wear my weights though because i wanted to do some interval training.

Interval training for those that dont know, is when you take it easy, or rather do what you are doing, which in my case is doing a brisk walk, then every so often you up the pace.

So in my case it was walking briskly then every ten minutes or so i would break out into 5 minutes of jogging, then back to walking again to get your breath back, active recovery... Then off jogging again for 5 minutes. repeat this pattern for as long as you are able.

Of course if you arent able to jog or simply dont want to, then you can still do interval training by walking as usual, then every 10 minutes pretend that you are rushing for a bus and put a spurt on in your walking for 5 minutes, really give it 100% effort.. Then bring it back to your normal walking pace for ten minutes to get your breath back (active recovery), then do a mad rush again for 5 minutes.

Might not seem like much but this sort of interval training does you more good than just keeping a steady pace all the time and of course is a good marker of how your fitness improves because you will be able to keep the intervals going for longer through the whole session.....


This is interval training and really works well for fitness and fat burning while minimizing the potential for injury...

So today i did 13,400 but of course some of this was jogging in the interval training......
