Happy “Over the Hump” Day everyone! Can’t believe it’s already the middle of the week.
Yesterday, knowing my need to have things on a list to get them done, I created a 6 week training plan to get me ready for the PGH Half Marathon. Yes, I know you’re thinking “geez 6 weeks is short”, but keep in mind I just ran a half almost a week ago. I know I have the stamina, now it’s time to hone in my speed!
Today’s workout was 8 x 400 repeats. I had originally read it as “4 x 800” repeats, good job dyslexia! Remembering how much I despise 400s from my time on the track team, I whipped out my new shoes to motivate me.
I think they worked, because I didn’t hate my workout.
It definitely wasn’t a long run on the beach on a sunny day, but it wasn’t horrible either.
Time/mileage Speed 0 – 5:00 6.0 mph 0.25 miles 7.8 mph (around 7:45 pace) 0.10 mile 3.5 mph repeat 8X
It took me about 30 minutes with warmup and cooldown. Definitely a hot sweaty mess by the end.
I think my new shoes helped! What do you think?
I found this on pinterest and I thought it was appropriate for speed days! Made me giggle a little bit 🙂
Need some new music to boost your run or workout? Well Madonna is at it again! Here’s my favorite song off her new album.
Have a wonderful Wednesday! Bust a move 😉
Question for the Day:
What music motivates you?
