Since I got off of work later than expected, I could not get in my full interval workout (probably dragging my feet to avoid this brutal workout). However, I was still able to accomplish half of my typical speed workout in my Adidas Zero racing flats by completing 3.0 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.0 miles per hour and the fast halves at 11.0) in a time of 18:09. I did a tenth-of-a-mile cool-down at marathon pace before heading home.
Once I got home, in order to get in a little more mileage for the day, I headed back out for a run around the neighborhood and over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed four-and-a-half laps of the softball complex before deciding to call it a day. The total distance of the second run was an even 3.0 miles at an easy pace
Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 60-second plank and elbows and toes. |
