Hey Running Friends!
Today is Week 6 of the RRCA Start to Run program! If you are joining in, we will be warming up for 5 minutes. Then go into a 6 minute run and then 2 minute walk. Last will be a 3 minute cool down. New? Check out my RRCA Intro.
Do this run 3 or 4 more times this week. If you are currently running 3 times a week, try 4. If you've upped to 4 times in the past few weeks, try 5. The interval repeat is 4 times..so 6 min run /2 min walk 4 times with a 5 minute warm up and 3 minute cool down.
If this is a new thing for you, make sure you have clearance from your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
