We are in week 6! Once again we've got 3 intervals. The first starts with a 5 minute walking warm-up followed by a 5 minute jog, 3 minute walk, 8 minute jog, 3 minute walk and ending with a 5 minute run (and obviously you've got your cool down afterwards to do what you like).

 

Music this week comes from RCRDLBL.com and BetterPropoganda.com

 

Ted Leo - Me and Mia

Sia - You've Changed

New Young Pony Club - Chaos

The Faint - The Geeks were Right

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

Steve Aokie - Goose

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood

Bloc Party - Banquet

Death from Above 1979 - Sexuality

Wow, week 5 interval 3 is no joke. We're running for a full 20 minutes today. Now, before you go for a box of tissues to wipe away your tears, please keep in mind that you do not need to sprint this or even go as fast as maybe you have on some of your other interval runs. If you're jogging at a 3.0 pace, that's ok - just keep picking up your feet. All you can ask of yourself is to give it your all.

 

Our music for this run is pretty great (in my humble opinion). It comes courtesy of RCRDLBL, Dance Yourself to Death and Groove Armada.

The Heavy - How You Like Me Now

Hot Chip - Take It In

Dance Yourself to Death - Midnight Affair (Y&R Remix)

Steve Aoki - Green Velvet - Shake and Pop featuring Kid Sister

Groove Armada - I Won't Kneel (Treasure Fingers Epicwave Radio Edit)

Hexes & Ohs - Whadaya Know

 

Here we go, it's interval #2 time and I know it looks menacing - but you just need to kick its butt before it kicks yours, right? RIGHT!

Today's music came almost completely from TheHoodInternet.com with some special help from killrockstars.com. Visit those sites, often - there is nothing but good music on both of them.

Then we walk for 90 seconds, followed by a 5 minute run. Don't be scared, it will all go by quickly. After those 5 minutes are up, we're walking for 2.5 minutes and then repeating our first circuit.

I'm switching things up this week and running this (well, running in place) with you as I record. My dogs, Marshall and Bubble stared at me like I was crazy the entire time, but we got through it and hopefully they aren't too traumatized. At least I didn't do it with only shorts and a sports bra on.

The music for today comes courtesy of RCRDLBL and The Hood Internet who comes up with the sweetest mashups possibly ever.

Nadastrom - Shiny Toy Guns - Ricochet (Nadastrom Head Spin Dub)

Ready for week 2? Sure you are! This week we're doing five minutes of walking for your warm-up, then intervals of 90 seconds running and 2 minutes walking. Make sure you keep your walking at a brisk pace. Try to challenge yourself. If you end up needing to slow it down, there's no shame in that.

It's been a while and I need to get back into the swing of things so I figured we could all use some new music and new motivation. You can use these podcasts for the CoolRunnings Couch to 5k program, or use them for interval training. Feel free to email me at thatssochubby (at) gmail (dot) com if you have questions or need a little extra encouragement.

Week 1 has us going for a 5 minute walking warm up and then intervals of 60 seconds running and 90 seconds of walking. The music used includes:

The Midnight Juggernauts - This New Technology
Moneypenny - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Kid Sister - Get Fresh
Amanda Blank - DJ
Spinnerette - Sex Bomb
Plaisir de France - Le Responsable Revisite

Almost all of these can be found and downloaded at <a target="_blank"href="http://rcrdlbl.com/">RCRDLBL</a>

We've made it to the big 5-0! Are you psyched? Only two more podcasts until you're running for a full hour - UNBELIEVABLE! Remember your posture, your breathing and your pace. Remember you can always contact me at thatssochubby@gmail.com if you have a question or are in need of extra support.

Hell yeah we've made it to the 45 minute mark! 15 more minutes and we'll be running for an hour. While that makes me a little nauseous to think about, it also makes me excited - like a superhero.
