I say do every other and supplement with something more low-impact on the off days- a class, or DVD or something!Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787636496996346343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634407137870663017.post-53224498265289147792009-08-05T08:39:50.649-04:002009-08-05T08:39:50.649-04:00Dani.

I agree I did do 3's yesterday to cut down. <br />I also think that I will try alternating days with some other sort of activity, most likely walking on my treadmill. Since I dont go to a gym it is my main piece of equipment. I will see if that helps.Food Comahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982995804147402153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634407137870663017.post-56488243584886411872009-08-05T00:52:02.112-04:002009-08-05T00:52:02.112-04:00If you walk fast enough to get your heart rate up ...If you walk fast enough to get your heart rate up and keep it up, walk. It sounds like you're pushing too much. If the program says every other day, do every other day. More doesn't necessarily = better. Cross train--bike or swim or walk or weight train.<br /><br />My $0.02.H-womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718671995211659437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634407137870663017.post-31209374122977368852009-08-04T21:18:22.327-04:002009-08-04T21:18:22.327-04:00Don't burn yourself out!

Try doing the program on alternate days and see if that helps.<br /><br />Good luck :)<br /><br />(first time reader, first time commenter - can't remember how I found your blog!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634407137870663017.post-51897021187093032272009-08-04T16:12:16.332-04:002009-08-04T16:12:16.332-04:00I'm not familiar with the exact details of the...I'm not familiar with the exact details of the C25K so don't think I know what I'm talking about, really. <br /><br />But ... I do intervals at the gym (well, not this week because life sucks!) and I simply can't do the same intensity every day. I feel like I can't get any rest in between high intensity days.<br /><br />Every other day, if it was me, I'd probably do 3-3-3-3, if necessary to do so in order to feel rested and see progress. <br /><br />I think just walking wouldn't be intense enough but who knows? If you are getting your work outs at the gym, maybe walk every other day but crank up the incline? I know I did that one week and I was sore in places I didn't even know could be sore ... simply from raising the incline on the treadmill!<br /><br />Either way, keep up the good work! I'm living vicariously through you as I am stuck at home tending nonstop to a sick kidlet. =PDani @ PFLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119497328184770870noreply@blogger.com
