Congratulations on your first long run! 

You did a fantastic job! 

This week's Training... 

This weeks schedule is a nice easy start with two walks and one run. You 
will note that most training days will have a range for the duration of the 
exercise, those that are new to the running please stick to the shorter time 
frame. 

**It is very important not to push yourself too hard no matter what your 
experience level is as overtraining can lead to injury and/or demotivation. 
This program gives us plenty of time to teach our bodies to run so there is 
no need to push it.** 

This week's schedule: 

Monday: 20 - 30 minute walk 
Tuesday: Rest Day 
Wednesday: 20 - 30 minute run 
Thursday: Rest Day 
Friday: 20 - 30 minute walk 
Saturday: Rest Day 

There will be an informal group run on Thursday at 7pm starting at the YMCA. 
We will be going for a 20 - 30 minute run.
