Day 7 -- Woo hoo, I ran 4 minutes!!

I did 30:04:

1 minute @ 3 mph
2 minutes @ 3.5 mph
2 minutes @4 mph
3 minute @ 4.5 mph
1 minute @ 5 mph
2 minutes @ 3 mph
5 minutes @ 3.5 mph
5 minute @ 4 mph
1 minute @ 4.5 mph
1 minute @ 5 mph
2 minutes @ 3 mph
2 minutes @ 3.5 mph
2 minutes @ 3 mph
1 minute @ 2.5 - 1.5 mph

I am so proud of myself. I ran for 4 minutes in 2 minute increments. I did the first minute at 4.5 mph then the second at 5 mph. Much easier and I did not have to grab on to the bar. Woo hoo!

Regarding the breakdown, I lost track of how many minutes I did for each but the mph is correct.

My son told me that he runs at 4.5 mph so I gave it a try. I like it and I don't think I will burn myself out. I will also build up my endurance at a slower, but consistent pace. At school, he walks/runs the track as 3/4 of the track he will walk and the last 1/4 he will run. That is how he is doing it on the treadmill. I think he needs to slow down just a bit or HE will burn himself out.
