Speed Interval Training
So I started mixing up my cardio program and begin to do interval training due to the advice of a friend. Call me slow but I never even noticed the "speed interval" button on the treadmills we have on base. I tried it out yesterday morning and felt good afterwards; feels a lot better than your standard long distance treadmill run. While I was nearing the end I one of the ladies that had been in there working out came over and talked to me about the 5k they do each week on base. I guess she could tell I was a newbie here and must have thought that running was fun to me…NEGATIVE!!! I do it because I know it’s a must in order to help shed the fat and to get it shape for when it comes to fitness testing time. I thought to myself’ "Do I look like a runner?". I’m 6ft 4in tall and 230 pounds so how she could mistake me for someone who likes to run is beyond me. Guess it was due to the intensity of my run while doing the speed intervals so I shall continue with this newfound way of cardio training in hopes that it will help me drop a load.
