Run Run!

Finally managed to get myself running again tonight.

Slow eh? Now keep in mind, it was an interval training. Which means you run for a certain period at maximum capacity, and then follow that up with a slow period to recover. Then fast again, then slow again. Rince, repeat.

In my case it was:
5 minute warmup slow-ish
1 minute fast
1 minute slow
(repeat 10x)
5 minute cooldown slow-ish

I can assure you that by the third fast bout, you feel like dying, that one fast minute feels like half an hour and that slow minute whizzes by!
The general idea is that interval training improves your aerobic capacity (increasing your speed), the high intensity intervals are supposed to boost your metabolism.

For sure, my metabolism is telling me something now. Although it might be "call the hospital", not entirely sure.
