3 days into this jog-walk routine around the block, jogging to one mailbox then walking to the next, over and over. My street has 14 mailboxes before I turn around, and right now I’m jogging past 7 of them and walking the rest.
What I don’t get is when to shift that ratio. Is there a sign to watch for, like breathing settling down before the next one, or legs not complaining the next morning, or do people just bump the jogging up by one mailbox a week regardless and let the body catch up.
Also not sure the advice even applies when my ‘jog’ is closer to a slow shuffle than an actual run. Does the ratio thing still work at that pace, or am I overthinking something that doesn’t apply to me yet?
