Today, we started with a lap around the block for a warm up, Then we went into the hall, did high knees; stride, butt kicks; stride, quick skips; stride, and big skips; then stride. Then the whole team did 3x1 of wall sits and 3x1 of step ups. We then broke into our groups. The distance did a fartlek workout today. We started by jogging over to Sugarhouse park for a warm up. Chris and I broke away from the group because I had to leave early so I wanted to get all of the fartlek in before I went home. So when Chris and I get to the park, the team is really far behind us so we decide to just go for it. The workout was 5x4x3x2x1 with a recovery of 3x3x3x2x1. It was a good workout overall. Chris kept me pushing on the Ons and the Offs also. We almost made it a mile with the five minute one, we were about 150 meters away from a mile. I then had to break away from him and head back. I still had a 3x2x1 on the ons left so I just did them while I was going back to east along 1300 east. When I got to the two minutes and one minute, it was nice because I really got pushing and opening up on the stride and it was all uphill so it was killing the quads going up the hills. I got about 2 of the little blocks after 1300 south when I was done with the speed part of the fartlek, so I just used that less than a half mile as a cooldown at like a 7:30 pace because I needed to get back. I averaged todays run at 7:10 |
