With the Salt Lake City Marathon being in the books, today marked the first day where I focused my training on preparing for the Wasatch Back Relay. Consequently, I did a hill workout by running over to Murray Holladay Road up to Olympus Hills Park then up to Oakridge Elementary. Once at the school, I completed a single lap around the school’s running path before heading back to home. The total distance of this run was 10.7 miles at a relatively easy pace (9:54 miles per minute and a heart rate of 131 bpm). In addition to the hill workout, my sore and tired legs from yesterday’s race provided perfect Wasatch Back training.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 10 metronomes. |
