10/30 - 10/31/2006 Tempo, Strength & Intervals

10/30/2006 Tempo Run

A nice steady, easy pace around Meghan's Run. I then picked up the pace going down to 222 and held that pace until I got back up on Filager. I lost the timing and heart rate info since I've been slacking on the blog a bit lately. I ran it in about 38 minutes and it's approximately 4.3 miles.

10/31/2006 Strength & Intervals

Elliptical = 15 minutes on Fat Burning
JC Bands Lunges with rows, Grey Bands - 12 each side.
Wall sit w/20 lb. wts.
2 sets bicep curls = 60 seconds each
2 sets shoulder press = 60 seconds each
Walking lunges = width of court/back doing lat raises with 15lb. wts
Hip adductor=2 sets/12 reps 100 lbs.
Hip abductor=2 sets/12 reps 100 lbs.
Clamshell crunch w/overhead 8lb ball 2x25


Intervals + no music = no fun. I did my 9x400 week, which took about 33 minutes and 4.1 miles. It was fun going up and down between 5-6 miles per hour and 10-10.5 mph. I do find it interesting to do the intervals on the treadmill. It really forces me to maintain the paces instead of just running on the track or road and trying to maintain. It's definitely still more fun to run outside, but I think the treadmill is more productive for building speed, when working alone.

I guess time will tell..
