Wednesday evenings are starting to become stair-interval nights at the office. Consequently, I met up with a few of my colleagues to run some stairs in order to train for the Fight for Air Climb. I commenced with the aim of running one-hundred stair repeats in my 12lbs weight vest from the first floor to the third floor of our building (i.e., to best my previous high of sixty). In summary, repeats 40-90 were really tough; however, I seemed to get my second wind after 90 and was able to fight through the tired legs to achieve 110 stair repeats. This workout took me 1:32:46 to complete and covered a 5.5-mile distance (i.e., a 16:52 pace). Plus, I went through approximately 50 oz of water and Gatorade. Needless to say, running stairs is a grind!
For my daily non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 100-second wall-sit.
5-minute Plank Challenge: 2:00 and 1:00 side planks both left and right
Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Daily Challenge: an apple and three baked potatoes with frozen peas and carrots on top (i.e., no more butter and gravy for Rossy in 2011)
