A few weeks ago I switched my increased my interval jogging from 3:1 to 4:1. Honestly I don't know why I chose to do this, I guess I was looking for something to break the "monotony" of my workout.
It has been a challenge. At first I was wondering why my pace was almost the same as my 3:1 intervals, and I realized it could probably be due to many things. The theory I feel is most plausible is that my body is more tired during the four minutes of jogging that when I do my one minute walk I'm walking slower than my walking pace during my 3:1 intervals.
The past two jogs I've done I've been a bit mindful of my pace and so far I've been averaging less than 8 minutes per kilometer. I've also noticed in my Tozo S3 smart watch and Tozo Health app that my heart range does reach the red zone (max heart rate zone) during my recent jogs. I'm hoping this is good because I'm pushing myself a bit more and my body and heart are adjusting so that eventually I'll be spending more time in in the aerobic zone than the anaerobic and max zones.
For now I'll keep aiming for being consistent in doing at the minimum three three-lap jogs a week. And one day of this kettlebell workout a friend of mine sent.
Consistency.
Out.
