Got back into the swing of the Run Less\/Run Faster plan on Tuesday with an early morning track workout.\u00a0 The Y has an indoor track (10 laps=1mile), so I hit it for track work.\u00a0 Roughly figured out how many laps for the plan.\u00a0 Tues was warm-up followed by 3 X 1600M (1 min rest b\/t), with a cool down to finish.\u00a0 The 1600M were to be at 7:35 pace.\u00a0 Warm-up of .5 mile and then took off.\u00a0 The first 1600M were strong all the way through.\u00a0 But I did take about 2 min (2 laps) rest b\/t 1600M.\u00a0 The second 1600M was a bit of a struggle, but was able to keep it fairly even.\u00a0 Third 1600M was rough.\u00a0 I began to feel it at about the second lap, and kind of tapered off from there, but was able to finish strong and kept the time under 8 min.<\/p>\n
Having a time figuring out how to time the repeats.\u00a0 This time I used the timer on the wall and tried to start at near the top of a minute.\u00a0 Worked fairly well, and was able to gauge my progress without fiddling with a watch, but not the most accurate.<\/p>\n
Didn’t hit the pool as it was raining\/lightening when I left the house and didn’t pack accordingly, but the pool was open by the time I was done.<\/p>\n
This am I hit the bike.\u00a0 Did 8.95miles in 30 min.\u00a0 Tried to keep the rpm in the 100 range.\u00a0 Really felt the burn, but was able to keep them there for the whole effort.\u00a0\u00a0 Then I used this cool stretching contraption that has a seat and kneepad with hand holds, and you use your body weight to push back from the hand holds to stretch back, legs etc.\u00a0 Really good stretches.\u00a0\u00a0 Then hit the pool for 2 x 250M.\u00a0 Nothing spectacular, but not poor either.\u00a0 Lots of swimmers this am, so lots of waves in the pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
