Weather - 22 degrees, sunny. 5.25 easy miles with 5 x 1-3 minute accelerations. Afterwards 5 sets of strength exercises at Brookens gym, and stretching. I was inspired to try a new exercise, I think they are called leg-ups, or knee-lifts - I stood in place and began lifting my knees to my chest in a running motion. It was quite difficult to keep this going for more than 45 seconds - I could feel my hip muscles struggle with the high leg lift motion. I did 3 sets. I think I will include this exercise with the others, if I can improve I think it will help my legs have a stronger drive. #89 z.m. - #3 |
