Ran the watertower trail out by my house by myself today. I added on the loop for more miles. it was beautiful at 3 pm and i was stoked to wear my shorts, but still a little windy. (seemed to hit in all directions too...hmmm). The trail was hilly, sandy, and rocky, so i got an incredible workout today. I was feeling good since i didn't get a workout in yesterday, so i did some speedwork.
warm up 1 mile -
4x 3.5 min intervals with 2.5 min rest
1 - very uphill and rocky- 7:28
2 - 6:12 - more uphill to down
3.- 6:49 - sandy!
4 - 7:05 - all uphill and rocky - was breathing really hard by this point
4x 2 min intervals with 1.5 min rest
1. - 6:01 - sandy downhill into wind
2.- 6:21 - very sandy
3. - 7:04 - sandy/uphill
4. - 6:12 -flat
4x1min intervals with 45 sec rest - all still rocky so i had to be careful
1 - 5:59
2 -6:47 - uphill
3 - 6;12 -
3 - 6:38 - uphill
had acrued 7.5 miles to this point, so finished up with 3.5 to get home at about 7:30s. I felt good today - feel like i had pushed myself.
