Today I decided to get in my final speed workout before the Philadelphia Marathon. Basically repeating the same workout that I completed on Tuesday, at the break of dawn I hit the treadmill in the Union Station Marriott’s gym. After some light stretching, I completed 6.0 miles of half-mile intervals on the treadmill (i.e., the slow halves at 8.8 miles per hour and the fast halves at 10.8) in a time of 37:14. There were no fans in this gym; therefore, it was sort of stuffy and it got pretty hot after a couple of miles. As a result, I suffered through the last half of my workout where I was sweating like crazy (luckily I had a 20 oz water bottle which gulped down). Following the six miles of running, I completed a 0.4-mile cool down before heading off to work.
For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 100 (50, 40, 30, 20 labs) curls. |
