Tonight, I was able to finally get in stair running training for my Fight for Air Climb that is less than three months away. I started out with a one-mile warm-up run on the treadmill before meeting up with one of my friends from work to hit the stairs. Our building is consists of only three stories, but it’s a lot better than running up ice-covered bleachers at the local high school. In just over 25 minutes, I completed the climb of our stairs 32 times. Since I decided to run with two 8-lbs dumbbells, this workout was pretty brutal. I’m relieved that I still have almost three more months to get into stair climbing shape. To conclude my daily running workout, I did a 3.6-mile cool-down run on the flat treadmill.
My daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, a 90-second wall sit, a 60-second plank on elbows and toes, and 40 (50 lbs) curls. |
