Ok, probably over did it today. Ran 4 miles today or 2 x 2 miles to be more accurate. I wanted to pace one of the cadets I have been training and we were doing 2 x 2 mile as part of doing a double Army PT Test. So we did 2 minutes of push-ups then 2 minutes of sit-ups followed by a 2 mile run and then repeated. I did 85 push-ups and 100 sit-ups in the 2 minutes then paced the first 2 miles in 13:36 with splits of 6:36 and 7:00. This was over a minute improvement in one month for the cadet I have been training. I then paced her again on another 2 mile run after about a 15 minute break and 2 more minutes of push-ups and sit-ups. She was able to run 14:13 with splits of 7:12 and 7:01 on the second run and this was still faster than she had run for her best 2 mile just about a month ago. By the end of the 4th mile my knee was not feeling great. It has bugged me a little more than normal all day today as a result. I will just have to make sure I take it easy the next coupe days. Maybe not the smartest thing to do today but I really enjoyed it and was glad I could help pace someone today. |
