Cardio's getting better!

Countdown: 49 Days

It amazes me how when I started my cardio how out of shape I was.  My first session on the treadmill the easiest part was my warm up at 3 mph walking lol...  I was dying on my first interval when I went up to 5mph.  I checked my heart beat and I already was at over 150 bpms, I wanted to QUIT!  Just remember, everyone starts somewhere and as I keep reading, it's about progress, not perfection.  I did quite a few intervals of 3445, where 4's are a slow jog.  As the sessions went by I would extend my minute to the next level of speed eventually working my way up on speed and effort.

This mornings session felt good, I ran like the wind lol..  I was excited that my 4 intervals consisted of mph of:
3,4(30secs),5(90sec)6
3,4(30secs),5(90sec)6
3456
34556

I always measure my BPM's on the 3's to make sure I'm where I need to be for my age and bpms.  My goal here is to be able to actually remove the 4's from the intervals :)  That would be most excellent :)
