Since I was unable to get in some speed play on the treadmill this past week, I decided to do some Yasso 800s at the Olympus High School track. However, since I was trying to catch up on my sleep (i.e., I slept in this morning) then having to jog 0.6 of a mile over to Smith’s to pick up some groceries, I did not head up to Olympus until early this afternoon. Once I made it up to the track, I commenced running Yasso 800s (i.e., a fast 800 followed by a slow 400). Without rounding up, I ran each of my first 800s in the exact same of time of 2:42. My fifth and what turned to be my final 800, I completed in a time of 2:46. Even though I was only a few seconds off my consistent pace, I was really feeling it after this fifth 800. As a result, I disappointedly put an end to my 800-interval workout after completing half of a full Yasso workout (i.e., ten 800s). When I try my next Yasso workout, I’ll make sure to get it in before breakfast. Nevertheless, I continued on with my track workout by completing 12 more laps before heading back home. The total distance of this run was 13.2 miles (all at an easy pace with the exception of ten laps of the track at a threshold pace).
Finally, while watching my Broncos go to 5-0 on the season with a hard fought overtime win over the Patriots, I got in 200 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
