Before work I went on an easy pace 0.4-mile run on the treadmill. Then after work I repeated the speed workout that I did this past Monday by running 5-miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.5 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.5). I persevered through several side aches and completed this speed training in a time of 32:01. Finally, I cooled down with a 0.7-mile run at marathon pace. In addition, it was another repeat of day nine (i.e., week 3, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge. This time I completed a total of 112 push-ups over five sets which consisted of 22, 25, 20, 20, and a max set of 25 push-ups. As a result, I’m looking forward to giving it another try this Saturday. I also was able to complete 200 sit-ups. |
