Day 002 - Training Block 9, Block 10, etc.

Rest day        Training via ActiveMail

IT'S A REST DAY: Were you wondering why yesterday's workout said "Block 9"? In this program, your workouts are arranged in "blocks." The Very Easy Walking Training Program starts with Blocks 1 through 8; this program continues with Blocks 9 through 16; and the Intermediate Walking Training Program concludes with Blocks 17 through 20. Each block consists of the same workout repeated at least twice (on different days, not on the same day!). If, on the second day you do the workout, you don't feel unduly fatigued an hour later, go ahead and move up to the next block according to the schedule. However, if you do feel very tired after your walk, cut back to the previous block, or just continue to repeat the same block until you feel recovered an hour after your workout. For example, if you move up to Block 10 and it feels too tiring, go back to Block 9 and repeat it as often as you need to. Similarly, if you're able to walk for the goal amount of time but can't cover the minimum goal distance in that amount of time, keep repeating the same block until you can. For example, if you can walk briskly for 48 minutes but can't cover 2.3 miles in that time, keep repeating Block 9 until you can.
