Ok, so I'm trying to finalize my worksheet for my walk to run goals for being able to do a 10k in 2 years.
Log shows my current and "future" progress based on asumptions of continued progress via increases in speed only. But, after reading around it looks like average running speeds are about 5-6 mph. Now if I keep on track, which I know is not likely, I should reach 6mph by the end of the year. At that point it would make sense that trying to go any faster might not be the best idea and I should maybe switch to more of endurance ramp up by just adding time maybe 2 or more min a week? This past Saturday was my first 60min session, starting Sunday at 20 min I add 2 min a day till Friday then do what I can on Saturday. I would guess when I can run 5-6mph I would start with 22 min on Sunday, and Saterday do 62 min so on and so forth. I'm probobly looking to far forward but things like this help me put things into perspective and plan acordingly.
I will say so far my little made up program is working, I origonaly was doing this just to help with the weight loss process but the thought of being able to do 5 or 10k sounded like something good to strive for also. When I started a few weeks ago my first go at 20 min tired me out and made my back hurt. Now I can walk for 60 min straight with out any issue. I think the slow ramping it up is realy helping.
Thanks for any imput.
Oh and I'm barefooting it if your wondering and also not heal to toe.
