Today I set out to do one of my treadmill interval workouts. In order to prepare myself, I stretched out the muscles during my lunch break by jogging a half-mile in my Nike Free. After work, while wearing my Adidas Zero racing flats, I did a 0.2-mile warm-up before knocking out 5.0 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 30:13. Then I did a four-tenths-of-a-mile cool-down at marathon pace before heading home. To finish off my daily running workout, I went on an evening 0-9-mile jog around the neighborhood.
For the third day in a row, I repeat my non-running workout by completing a 60-second plank on elbows and toes, 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 20 (50 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
