1/29 Not the best

26:45 warm-up because I got lost.
It's 20-something degrees out.
I tried to run in lane 7 as instructed.
I got a little lost again.

The workout was supposed to be 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50 with about 1:1 work:rest.

I'd say it was closer to 50, 100, 150, 290, 400, 290, 200, 100, 50. I think I got the rest right.

A sarcastic, "good thing I went to the track."

12:55 down.

1/24- New plan

I have not been inactive since the last post, but I won't recreate my workouts here. There were fewer, but not none. Now, I've embarked on a new plan designed by Alan and set my goal at 29:30 for an 8k in March.

Today I began with mobility work and about 6 miles of running in 45 minutes.

January 12 - Lower Body

It's been a little while since I've posted, so I'm going to try to get back into it. I've been trying to get in more cardio workouts in the week to try and cut some weight off, so you'll start to see more "finishers" and cardio days (this will most likely get back up to full speed after we get back from our skiing trip this weekend!).

Box Squat
185x4
205x4
215x4
225x4

Speed Deadlift
145x8x2

Reverse Lunge
35x4x8

Reverse Crunch
3x12

Superset w/Plank
3x30sec (2 w/20lbs vest and 20 hip touches)

Ropes
10 sets of 20:25sec work:rest
