After a busier than even normally busy day at work, I met up with a few of my colleagues to prep for the Fight for Air Climb by running the stairs in our office building. For this stair training run, I tried out my weight vest on it (I set it for only 12 pounds, but for some reason it feels very heavy to carry around; that is, I’m not use to clothing weighting that much). In 25 minutes, I made it up the three stories of our building 40 times (by my calculations, 2 miles) which was better than my previous record of 32! By the way, I was so happy to remove my weight vest after this workout. My longer term plan is to use this vest for the last few miles of my long runs.
Following our stair workout, I hit the treadmill for a 4.2 mile run at a very relaxed pace. It just felt great just to run on level ground!
My non-running consisted of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 90-second wall sit.
5-minute Plank Challenge: 2:15 (another PR and this was followed by a plank I could hold for only 90-seconds because my colleague from work kept my laughing the entire time while he tried to hold his plank) |
