With the snow-covered ground created from yesterday’s storm melting away, I went for an early afternoon jog down to 4700 South and 700 East. This spot marks the top of a steep hill along the Salt Lake Marathon Course. This hill is approximately located at 17.5 miles into the race; therefore, on tired legs it seems even steeper. Since my legs were still feeling drained from yesterday’s long-slow-distance run, I figured this would be the perfect time to do some hill repeats. As a result, I did five 0.2-mile intervals on this hill running up (1:10 average) then jogging back down (1:59 average). After this interval workout, I jogged back home and called it a day. In total, I ran 4.7 miles (3.7 at an easy pace and an even 1.0 mile at marathon pace).
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed a 60-second plank on elbows and toes, 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 10 metronomes. |
