- Male. A few months ago I started jogging. Always been a lifter and hated cardio but thought I should work on my cardiovascular health too.
Then I increased it to 2 minute runs followed by 1.5 minute walk and that dropped it down to around 14.5-14.9 minutes per mile. Still walking afterwards
Then last month I started lowering my walking time and got it down to around 12 minute per mile. Still walking afterwards.
Then last 2 weeks I started doing no walk at all or rather not include it in my timing. I went 11:57 per mile. Then last week, it was 11:04 per mile. ( these are not decimals. Actual time. The previous numbers were decimals).
Today it was 10:35 per mile but I thought I was gonna die. I started doing 2 minute jogs with 1 minute and 15-20 second rests. I know that’s not toooooo much less than 1.5 minutes but my thought is that 15 seconds less per interval for 8 is 2 minutes saved. Not sure if that’s normal or if I’m pushing myself too hard too quickly.
