After work, I increased the distance of my typical speed workout by running 6-miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.5 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.5). I suffered through a really bad side ache during the fourth mile (i.e., when I get these side aches it is sometimes difficult to breath unless I relax and really focus on belly breathing); however, I completed this speed training in a time of 38:26. Lastly, I cooled down with a 0.3-mile run at marathon pace.
For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, 160 (50, 40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 60 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls. |
