533D035Q

536pm: HHS Track

Scheduled: Warm-Up + (3 x ½ mile with ½ mile Rest) + Cool-Down

I needed to put together the half miles in 3:48 (7:36/mile). 

7.01 miles done in 57:35 at 8:13/mile

There was no warm-up because I thought I was running Easy at the start of the run and 0.30 miles in I noticed I was running @ 5K pace.  I am not kidding.  Okay…I guess no warm up tonight.  The half miles (goal 3:48) done in 3:47, 3:41, 3:33, 3:43, 3:42, and 3:43. 

I am running FASTER.  Of note though I did have the recovery periods at 0.50 miles vs 0.25 miles…Not sure if that is counterproductive to the workout…will have to look that up again. 

I know that reps should be done with as much recovery as needed to do the next rep at proper pace.  Forgot about half mile repeats and mile repeats…at times 90-120 second recoveries I remember seeing…at other times full recoveries (equal recovery). 

At any rate…………..this workout clearly is an “A” workout!  Have to say it is good to see an "A" rating for an interval workout.  Was difficult getting out of the C and B range...but I think I am there.  The distance is becoming more familiar to me at this pace.

Oh by the way…this will mean nothing to anyone who reads this: I saw B.L. today and discussed his races and the HHS track team.

 

ACorn: If you read this, I am totally serious about Protein and building Upper Body.  I am registered for a Tough Mudder and will run that on 7/14/12 in VT.  10-12 miles of running…but really 27 obstacles that will need to be dealt with.  The running aspect is not a concern.  But the Upper Body Strength needs work.  Thanks for this link http://www.amazon.com/Running-Anatomy-Joseph-Puleo/dp/0736082301

PRE,

Great workout, those races look like a lot of fun. Google "Hobie Call" if you have time, he's the renowned king of obstacle racing. I believe he's got some videos that shows how he trains.

I will compile some info for you as far as protein powder and upper body training and send you a PM in the next couple of days.

ACorn,

Thank you very much. I googled "Hobie Call." I posted about 6 or 8 videos to Facebook so far. Thus easy access. I think they will prove very helpful!!!
