davidnI've started photographing the results view on the treadmill at the gym, so that I'll have the additional drive of being able to enter all the little numbers and generate reports and ask what that's done to the graph. These are the results from the third and fourth sessions:
I think I've found my comfortable speeds of 2.5mph walking and 5mph jogging for now, though they may increase a little as I get used to it (come to think of it, I should record those). The sessions on the current level of the plan last for 20 minutes each with a five-minute warmup and cooldown period at the ends, and my ability to endure them has seemed to fluctuate a little. I found the second session the hardest and I had to allow myself to slow down to the recommended level of 90 seconds walking, 60 jogging at the end of the third session, but today - despite feeling at the very start like it was going to be difficult to keep going - I made it all the way through at my accidentally accelerated 60/60 rate.
I'm not entirely sure how achieving this resulted in me finishing sixty-four metres further back than I did on the slower session. I'm going to stay at level 1 for another couple of attempts just to make sure I can do it consistently, and then move up - perhaps trying 90/90 instead of 120/90 if I continue to feel ambitious.
