I finally was able to get in a bike ride to work this morning. In order to get my body use to running on tired legs, I left for my commute extra early this morning in order to get in an interval workout on the treadmill. I completed six miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.2 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 11.2) in a personal best time of 35:27! Then I did a 0.1-mile extra at threshold pace followed by a 0.1 mile cool down at marathon pace.
Besides my even 31.0-mile bike ride to and from work, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 100 (16 lbs) curls. |
