I took Lori's cue and tried out an interval workout today to mix things up. I found it to be challenging and satisfying at the same time.
1 x 800 warm up (6mph, 10:00 pace)
2 x 800 : (7 mph, 8.34 pace) (7.5mph, 8:00 pace)
3 x 400: (7.5 mph, 8:00 pace) (8mph, 7:30 pace) (8mph, 7:30 pace)
2 x 200: (9mph, 6.40 pace) 2x
1 x 800 cool down (6mph, 10:00 pace)
Intervals = 3 miles
1-1.5 min walk @ 3.7 in between
Followed it with 3x dumb bell circuit:
chest , back, shoulders, bis, tris
I feel energetic and alive! Great workout!
Feeling a bit apprehensive about tomorrow's long run. I'm scheduled for 8 miles. I'll just take my time and see what happens. It's just an unknown for me. My longest run yet! Send good vibes my way. : )

I admire anyone doing intervals. I'm a bit afraid of them -- don't like keeping track of them LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your long run! I think you have the right attitude about taking your time. Who knows, maybe you will find that you love long runs!
Good vibes have been sent. You can do it. Slow and easy is the theme of the day. I have discovered a lot about myself during my long runs. So much time to think about everything...who I am...who I want to be. How often do you get that much time to yourself?
