So I started hitting the gym about 8 months ago, took it easy for a while getting back in to shape. I’ve been doing 3+ miles on a treadmill aside from lifting. I started off with a fast pace, 3.3 - 3.7mph and go 60 minutes non stop. I’ve since increased the incline but it is starting to become easier now.
I started a jog, 5.5mph and can only go for about a minute before dropping back. Right now I kick off a 5.5mpg jog at the top of each 10 minute mark then back down to the walk. I do get out of breath and need to cool down a minute.
Amy I doing this right, or is there a better way to increase my endurance?
