It was another day of riding my bike to work this morning. After I arrived at work, in order to get my body use to running on very tired legs, I got in a challenging interval workout on the treadmill. I completed six miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.2 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 11.2) in a personal best time of 35:20! Then I did a 0.1-mile extra at threshold pace followed by a 0.1 mile cool down at marathon pace. Since my legs are feeling pretty tired and my right hamstring a little tight, this will be my last speed workout before the Deseret News Marathon; that is, sneaking in another interval workout will give me very little benefit for this race and just wear down out more legs more.
In addition to my even 31.8-mile bike ride to and from work, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
