week 2 (or it felt like it - now i look at it, it was obviously a steady increase), but introduced running for longer periods of time. when i took a further step up to week 4 and did the first workout where i was running for five straight minutes twice during a session, i actually felt that that was my peak and that it was more painful than enjoyable now - but after extending the week slightly and gradually trying to extend the periods where i was running, i absolutely snoozed through the fifth workout this afternoon without even the power of metal to keep me going.
i'm seeing distances
