A Fitter Buki

Thursday, May 18, 2006

So today was the last day of Week 3, I feel like I am definitely getting fit but there is still a long way to go. I am so proud of myself and I think I will be able to keep this up...

I really cannot wait for when I will be able to run for a WHOLE HOUR without stopping, that's my first major milestone!!!!

Week 4 will be as follows:

  • Day 1 Rest
  • Day 2 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times
  • Day 3 Rest
  • Day 4 Run 12 mins, walk 2 mins. Do twice
  • Day 5 Rest
  • Day 6 Rest
  • Day 7 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times

Week Five

  • Day 1 Rest
  • Day 2 Run 9 mins, walk 1 min. Do 3 times
  • Day 3 Rest
  • Day 4 Run 14 mins, walk 2 mins. Do twice
  • Day 5 Rest
  • Day 6 Rest
  • Day 7 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times

Week Six

  • Day 1 Rest
  • Day 2 Run 15 mins, walk 1 min. Do twice
  • Day 3 Rest
  • Day 4 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times
  • Day 5 Rest
  • Day 6 Rest
  • Day 7 From this point onwards, you should be able to jog for 20 - 30 minutes

I'll put up some routines (e.g. fartleks) you can try once or twice a week to increase your stamina and strength so you can run harder and for longer. Hope this helps :-)

Week 2: Day 7 - Run 5 mins, walk 3 mins. Do 3 times

Thursday, May 11, 2006

So it's the end of my second week and I've only slacked once! :-) I am really proud of myself.

Now, running for 5 minutes is probably EASY for some of y'all BUT it is a big deal to me... I am about to jog right now so maybe, tomorrow I will say how it went.

Week Three is as Follows:

  • Day 1 Rest
  • Day 2 Run 7 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times
  • Day 3 Rest
  • Day 4 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times
  • Day 5 Rest
  • Day 6 Rest
  • Day 7 Run 8 mins, walk 2 mins. Do 3 times

Week 2: Day 1 - Rest

I feel bad, I was so tired from work last night that I didn't have time to jog!!!


Today, I am still feeling the strains of lack of sleep.

This is the start of my second week of training towards fitness.

Week 2
  • Day 1 Rest
  • Day 2 Run 3 mins, walk 3 mins. Do 4 times
  • Day 3 Rest
  • Day 4 Run 3 mins, walk 3 mins.Do 4 times
  • Day 5 Rest
  • Day 6 Rest
  • Day 7 Run 5 mins, walk 3 mins. Do 3 times

So, first thing tomorrow morning, I am back on schedule.

Day 6 - Rest

Wednesday, May 03, 2006

I'll have to admit, I was too lazy and stressed out to run on Day 4 (Monday) so I ran yesterday. I am so happy I can rest today cos I ran in the evening yesterday, ate some boiled plantain and stew and C-R-A-S-H-E-D!!!

I was so tired...

It looks so straightforward - running for 2 minutes and walking for 4. Well it 's not for someone as unfit as myself. This has even made me more determined to stick to this plan.

Some of my workmates are trying to convince me to make my July run public... i.e. tell everyone at work so that I can raise more money and get a t-shirt with my company logo and all... Oh gosh... I don't want them making a big deal out of this! I don't want my workmates at the Regent's Park cheering me on!!!
