The Runner, Part 1

To be honest, I am not an ace at all - never been. But I like sports, I really do. Basketball is my favorite team game. I just love it. (Note to myself: Look for a local old men's team.)

But it's no fun at all as long as you're in a bad shape. That's the reason why I am running for training. As a part-time runner I have to start over every year after winter's break. Today the second week has just begun.

Here's how I started over last week:

1. running: 6x 2:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 1:30 minutes
2. rest
3. running: 4x 3:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 1:30 minutes
4. rest
5. running: 6x 2:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 1:30 minutes
6. rest

And here's second week's program:

1. running: 6x 3:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 1:30 minutes
2. rest
3. running: 4x 5:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 2:00 minutes
4. rest
5. running: 6x 3:00 minutes, intermediate walking: 1:30 minutes
6. rest

As I said, second week has just begun. It's not exhausting; key point is discipline and constancy - well, I think that's why it's called training. And it feels good after all.

CU - GU!
