My progression in C25K training went like this:
W1D1
W1D2
W1D3
W2D1
W3.5D1
and today I extended that to W4D1. Due to a variety of issues not related to running, I was forced to use my elliptical trainer on difficulty 3 (roughly as hard as running is) instead of actual running.
For those not familiar with it, elliptical trainers will give you a nice aerobic workout. Unfortunately, the stresses and exercise affects your muscles differently
Workout
Summary:
3.2 miles (5K+ distance, yeah) in 37.5 minutes on my elliptical. Max heart rate 160 bpm with average heart rate under 150 bpm.
