Hello experts -
My knees aren't that strong, so I'm not interested in running long distances. But I would get a big
kick out of being able to run one mile, relatively quickly. So, my plan is to work out on my
treadmill, one workout being about 25 minutes of hill walking, using the heart rate monitor to keep
my heart rate up to about 165, then the other workout being running one mile (with 10 minutes of
walking before and after that). I just today was able for the first time to run one mile at a 5 mph
pace - which for me is great. I also take a break day between each workout day.
I'd like to bring my one mile pace down to about 8 or 9 minutes, or whatever is reasonable for me
(I'm a 36 year old woman).
Thoughts? Is this plan reasonable? Will I be able to get my 1 mile time down?
Thanks for any advice! Sylvia
