It was another Sunday-morning hill workout in preparation for The Ragnar. This time I ran down 5th East (i.e., along the Salt Lake City Marathon course) to Liberty Park, then up to North Temple, then over to West High School. Once at West, I ran one mile on the track before heading up to 3rd North where I did four hill-repeats up to the west side of the State Capital Building. This part of 3rd North is less than a third of a mile; however, it gains approximately 220 feet in elevation. As a result, even though I was working extremely hard on the uphill climbs, I never broke a 10-minute per mile pace on any of my four climbs. Needless to say, I have my work cutout for me in preparing for The Ragnar. The total distance of my combined running was 15.3 miles at a slow, but not always easy pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to complete 200 sit-up and 27 push-ups. |
