Easing my way back into some light runs. Couldn't remember my prior heart rate zone / interval training sequences so just did 1-min "Hardcore" intervals with (very slow) 2-min "Endurance" cycles.
21min, 1.9 miles.
I'm a huge fan of this style of running. For most of my 20s and 30s I'd just slog through and struggle the whole way and often feel like a failure. Using intervals to space out the harder parts is just a happier existence.
I realize diff types of runs, diff interval strategies, diff intensity peaks all work toward diff goals. Right now I just want to shake off years of rust with an easy program. Perfecting and optimizing the strategy can come later (tho would love to hear y'all's thoughts).
ps - yes this is interval training but no, obv it isn't HIIT. Not ready for that kind of strain right now.
pps - I probably need to re-guesstimate my max/min heart rate range and adjust my target zones. Ain't as young as I used to be.
