Today was my first attempt at actually running, and outdoors. So far the only cardio I have been doing is Esther Gokhale's 'glidewalking' on the treadmill at the gym for an hour after my pilates classes and I wanted to start bumping it up so I can increase my natural energy levels. Let's just say it was very humbling. I was using an ap that has you walk for 90 seconds then run for 60 seconds 6 times.........I couldn't complete it. I ran for the first 4 running sections then walked for the last 2 and I was walking sloooooooooow. Like those 4 min killed me. And I was under the impression that the program I was using would have me start off at this lowest level and then stay there for a bit before they increased the intensity---but they're increasing it after the first day! I literally can't. I think I'm going to have to do the Day 1 run for a week, then the Day 2 run for another week, then the Day 3 for another week....etc.
As much as I dislike doing cardio I love how the body feels immediately after, when your circulation is going like crazy. I'm going to really need to rethink my sports bra situation too.
