Weekly Workouts!

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

35 miles for the week! I think that was just perfect...

Saturday- 6 mile progression run on the treadmill. My old paces are getting easier for me! Maybe I'll be in "racing" shape for the spring!?


Sunday- 1 mile trail, 3 miles road. I drove to the trail but it was a sheet of ice so I had to bail and go home and run in my hood. I was so tired because I only got a couple hours of sleep the night before. It was an all around terrible day.


Monday- 8 mile progression run at Planet Fitness. Everyone listens to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the gym, right???


Tuesday- 3 treadmill miles and a deck of card workout on steroids! I say it was on steroids because I added in 60 push ups, 60 inverted rows, and 120 stability ball pull ins!


Wednesday- 8 mile progression run on the treadmill. I warmed up for 2 miles, then did 3 miles at an 8 minute pace. Then I spent a mile working my way up to a 7:30 pace. Ran a 7:30 pace for my 7th mile, and then for my 8th mile I bumped up the speed by one notch every 10th of a mile so I was running a 6:30 by the end!

Thursday- 6 mile progression run. Not as crazy as the day before.


Calf stretching is a must!

Friday-  Lifting! I wanted to run but I was due for a major lifting session, so that's what I did!

How were your workouts this week?

  1. What a great week of workouts. I'm heading out for a run shortly and I'm hoping not to have to deal with ice.

  2. Wow -- 2 progression runs in a row? I swear my tempo on the treadmill on Thursday nearly killed me!

    I always hate that we have so few options of where to run in the Winter. :(

  4. I totally bailed on my long run today. Just wasn't feeling it. But I saw the weather is supposed to be warmer on Sunday, so I'll get to it tomorrow. And I finally took down the xmas lights. Yep, I've had them all this time. I like the pretty glow of them :)

  5. Nice workouts! I had a really nice week in workouts. Was able to get 5 days running in again. Colorado (so far) has dodged the snow/cold and I am not mad about it.

  6. You are getting in some solid treadmill runs! I can see how Joseph would make a good running soundtrack. Hamilton is great for that too.
