Introduction: This is a run series journal that I aim to update regularly. My objective for posting is to give myself a check and hopefully implant the discipline of being consistent with my fitness plan into my system. I invite everyone who comes across this journal to also adopt a healthier lifestyle and be more active and fit. Your fitness goals may not be the same as mine, but let's try to achieve our goals together.
In my previous post, I mentioned about starting a running plan. I've thought about this further and think it would be good to specify a set of fitness objectives. After some quick thoughts, this is what I want to achieve by the end of 2018:
To be honest, I do not yet have the utmost 100% confidence I can achieve the objectives above. But I will try.
For my fitness plan, I will be doing outdoor runs. I will use the runkeeper app to track my runs. So here goes!
As I have not been active for a while, I am thinking of starting my runs on a lighter note. So my plan is: do 3 sets of 5-minute walks, followed by 5-minute slow jogs. If I start huffing and puffing, I'll increase my walk times and lower my jog times. If I feel I can still continue, I'll do one or two more extra sets. (Disclaimer: I am not following any expert recommended training plan here. I just want to gauge my tolerance level and get into the groove of this lifestyle again.)
