Going down, going up, going elsewhere

Going down, going up, going elsewhere

It happens that I started jogging again. What helped was a trainings plan from some health insurance company. It works for the first three months. It also says to go out three times a week, what doesn't work for me. I can do a weekend (Sunday) run and one on working days (at least in those days with less working load). Anyway, I think it's good enough for a start. A re-start after some years of paternity leave.

Here is the plan, where every run sums up to 30 minutes (more or less):

  • Weeks 1 & 2: 8 × 2 mins jogging + 2 mins walking
  • Weeks 3 & 4: 6 × 3 mins jogging + 2 mins walking
  • Weeks 5 & 6: 5 × 5 mins jogging + 1 min walking
  • Weeks 7 & 8: 3 × 9 mins joggings + 1 min walking
  • Weeks 9 & 10: 2 × 14 mins jogging + 1 min walking
  • Weeks 11 and following: 30 mins jogging

We will see how this works out. I'm currently on the end of week 2. This slow start really helped me to get back on track.


So, this was the very first posting on my new blog. Hope you enjoyed! We'll see where this will end.
