This morning I was able to go out for one of my rare but becoming more common sub-6:000-am runs. I did a short 1.5-mile run for only the second time in my Vibram Five Fingers. I’m still getting use to running on the hard roads without any support on my feet. For this run I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and took a lap around the softball complex before heading back.
During my lunch break, in order to wakeup my legs, I hit the treadmill for a 0.2 mile run in my Nike Frees on the treadmill. Following work, I ran 5 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.7 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.7) and completed it in a time of 31:01. This interval workout felt much better than the one I completed last Thursday. I followed this interval workout with a 0.4-mile cool-down run to marathon pace.
For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, 20 (50 lbs) butterflies, 140 (50, 40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
