First Workout

For these first few weeks, or until I can pass the APFT, I'm doing my workout's from army-fitness.com. Specifically, I'm going to be using their Push-up workout. Followed by a run workout posted by "Coach Jenny" at Runner's World. No, I am not the soldier who wrote in with the question, but the training plan seemed applicable to me. I downloaded an interval timer to my cell phone to time the intervals during the run. It worked pretty well, only one minor problem.

Both of these workouts are four day per week workouts. I'm shooting for the M-W-F-S plan, but really I'll do it any way where I can get all four in during the week.

Enough with all the exposition, how was the workout?

What I did:
3x 5 push-ups; 45 second break

10 minute rest

2x 5 push-ups; 45 second break

I then did 8 sets of a 1 minute run followed by a 2 minute walk. For some reason, my interval timer did not time the last walk, I'll have to work around that when I set it next time. Total distance, a little under 2 miles in 24 minutes

Total time: about 50 minutes

How I felt:
I feel good about this workout. There were a few times during the run sets when I don't think I was pushing as hard as I should have, and there was about twice when I was very thankful when the rest interval sounded.

One Down!
