Oops—sometimes life gets the best of you and you don’t get things done as planned. Stage 3 is almost complete (one more session) and I think I can safely move on to Stage 4 without a recovery week. I am increasing my HIIT intervals each session and will be breaking the 8:00 minute mile barrier. This is a big deal for me, even with intervals. I will probably start trading out one of my running interval days to start increasing my steady-state pace. This means I will need to begin intervals (1 day per week) with my stair climber. This should work out and not affect my training significantly. After I am done with this particular program, I think I can be more aggressive with the intervals by expanding the units (3 minutes/6 minutes versus 1 minute/minute) and then having a much faster time for all cardio work. As the weather gets better I want to take some of my workout outside, which may mean doing some hills and or speed work that may be quite different than what I am used to on the treadmill.
