Preliminary Training - Stage 9 - Day 4

Today was the last day to include some walking in the training. Starting on Tuesday, it’s all jogging/running the entire time. For the next two weeks (Stage 10 of the Preliminary Training) it’s 30 minutes of jogging 4 days a week, and then, on June 7th we start the first week of the actual training program.

I’ve noticed a lot of changes since I started this process two months ago. Since I started tracking my training progress on this site after my knee injury, I’ve lost nearly 7 pounds. I’ve gained a ton of muscle in my legs since then as well. Back then, I was only jogging for 5 minutes at a stretch and I couldn’t fathom how I was going to jog for 30 minutes consecutively. What a difference a month makes.

I also need much less sleep and although my work stress has increased considerably, I’m generally able to cope with it better.

Description 25 min jog/5 min walk
Distance 3.1 miles
Time 32 minutes
