In bootcamp, we run a mile during the first session and then a mile during the last class. In between the 4 weeks we'll do a 1/2 mile maybe twice?
Anyway...i simply can't do a mile. It's 20 laps because we're indoors. Between running/walking/breathing...it's impossible to track those laps.
I asked if I could do a 1/2 mile, and for me that would be a huge incentive so that's what I did this morning. My ultimate goal will be to beat myself on the 1/2 and the 10 laps is much more manageable..not only that, but i'd be at lap 15 and everyone else was done. done. done. I counted my 1/2 mile today but I did actually complete 3/4.
So...any tips on getting through the 10 laps? I can usually run 3 of them, then alternate walk/run.
