Monday - elliptical (15k of effort)
I wanted to go to the gym today to do some weights, and when I saw that it was too cold outside to run in shorts, I decided to do everything on the arc trainer instead of going outside. The gym was busier than I expected (I went at 7pm versus my usual 8am), so I had to weight for my machine. I powered through an hour on the trainer, covering 4.51 units, which is a personal record. I can see myself getting to 4.75 units in my current state of fitness, and I could get to 5.00 eventually. Weights and core as well.
Tuesday - 69 minutes (17km)
A good solid pace from the word 'go'. I ran south through Wortley and back up Wharncliffe. It was cool out. My legs felt really tired afterwards. I should rest up before provincials on Sunday.
Wednesday - workout (19km total)
My legs felt really heavy and tired today. It took me 27 minutes to jog down to Wortley, and 26 minutes to get back, for a good long warmup and cooldown. I did a short tempo followed by some sharpening stuff with partner relays. The tempo was okay, but not stellar, and the relay stuff was reasonably quick. I was surprised with how well the workout went given how tired my legs felt.
About Me
- Timothy
- I first ran cross country in grade 7 (1993), but I did not run at all in grade 9. I did cross country in grade 10, but it was only after basketball season finished in grade 11 (1998) that I started running throughout the year. I tried out for the track and field team in my first year of university, but I did not make the standard. It was not until my third year of university that I tried out for cross country. I made the team and had my most successful years of running from 2002-2004, when I competed in cross country and track. Some of my personal bests: 800m - 2:01.79 (2001) 1500m - 4:06.11 (2004) 3000m - 8:56.49 (2004) 5km - 15:56 (2004) 6km xc - 19:06 (2004) 10km xc - 33:43 (2004) 30km - 1:49:11 (2005) marathon - 2:43:29 (2005) hour-long run - 59:58 (2006)
