Blake Bennions running

Mile at 12 degrees incline at 7mph on treadmill and then 12xcircuit of .4-.6 mile, 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 10 squats. Reps 4 and 8 I walked around the perimeter of my house while holding two 45 pound dumbbells above my shoulders. 12th circuit I did 3 swing assisted hammer curls into overhead press reps with the 45s and 10 burpees. Finished with a hard 2/3ds mile and then cool down a bit.

Averaged about 6:40 pace for the running portion of the circuits. Considering the first mile was over 600 ft elevation gain at 8 minute pace and I rarely do hills I'm happy with how well my legs held up. I started feeling pretty tired after halfway through and the last few circuits I was quite drained. Will have to carb load before the spartan, a good taper will help too.

Easy run, couple miles on the grass and a couple 200ms at mile pace. They felt really good. I think I'm finally starting to get back in shape these past few weeks, really gives me something to build off of going forward. I've also been walking a couple mile every day the past few weeks, that's been really nice.

Wasn't sure what to do today but mile repeats seemed like a good choice. I warmed up 2 miles and then ran 5:18, 5:25, 5:23 with a mile jog recovery. I felt really good today.

I started the first mile in a 75 second 400m and briefly considered trying to break 5, but I figured that would probably ruin the rest of my workout- and if I wanted to do an all out mile I should have started in 70... so I slowed down to 5:25ish pace for the next 3 laps. I felt really good the whole first mile and after though. I felt pretty tired after the 2nd rep though. After the long recovery the 3rd mile felt pretty good. Good workout!
