I got up at 5 am to start another round of P90X.  Today was day 1, Chest & Back with ab ripper at the end.  Had a very light breakfast and Cathy, Josh, Britnee, and I were off to the rec ctr.  I did 2.4 miles of intervals on the treadmill.  I did climbing ladders (Bill Phillips Method) with a change in speed every minute.  When I reached 4 rungs, I backed down to the initial speed, 4 sets total.  Last set was a little longer and faster.  The entire routine took 20 minutes.  Average pace was 8:20.  Fastest pace was 6:30. Initial pace 9:15.

Ran home from the rec ctr in the rain... yipeee!! I love the rain!!!  I did 5.8 miles in 47:38.

Mile Splits:  8:23, 8:17, 8:12, 7:38, 8:31, and last 0.8 miles at 8:14 pace.

This was suppose to be an easy run.  I blanked out on the 7:38 mile.  I was thinking of work on my day off!!! Swam 1.6 miles (110 lengths) in the pool this evening.

P90X is a great program. It is tough for a female since our upper body strength generally lacks a bit. However, I now can do "guy" pushups, which is something I could never do more than one of. Do you find that the plyometrics dvd has helped you in your running training? Just curious. I don't do the whole program at this point. My running has somewhat taken over my whole life..LOL! Good luck to you!! You are doing amazing!!

I love the P90X. I have noticed a difference in my running performance since I started the program 4 months ago. I have a Marathon and half marathon PR while doing P90X. I do everything but the legs and back workout... it's too much and interfers with my running program. The plyo is a fun program. I always run very easy after plyo so I can loosen up a bit. I also do a lot of cross training which has helped with less injuries from running. Congrats on the Man pushups!! How are you doing on the pullups?
