This morning, I completed an entire workweek of sub-6:00-am runs (this is a good accomplishment for a non-morning runner). Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed one lap around the softball complex before heading back. The total distance of this wakeup run was 1.3 miles at an easy pace. After work, I did my full interval workout by accomplishing 6 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.7 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.7) in a time of 36:58. I followed this interval workout with a 0.2-mile cool-down run at marathon pace.
In addition to riding my bike to and from work for a round trip of 32 miles, my non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 20 (50 lbs) butterflies, 150 (50, 40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
