Early this Saturday morning, I ran 4.6 miles up to Skyline High School in order to meet up with one of my Wasatch Back team members for an interval workout. After warming up by jogging four laps of the track, we did a Yasso 400s workout (i.e., a fast 400 meters followed by jogging 200 meters and repeating this ten times). With my projected half marathon time some where under one-hour and twenty minutes, my aim for my fast 400s was under 1:20. I was able to accomplish this objective with the following splits: 1:15, 1:17, 1:18, 1:18, 1:19, 1:18, 1:18, 1:17, 1:19, and 1:16. My average on the 400s was 1:17; whereas my average on the recovery 200s was 1:10. I warmed down with just over two laps (i.e., 0.55 of a mile) then we hit the stairs by running 22 flights on the bleachers (0.85 of a mile) before call it day on the track. I then covered at an easy 5.85 miles on the way home by stopping by REI to check out their sales.
Finally, for my non-running workout I completed the typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
