My shin were starting to hurt a bit today so I decided not to go out for my usual morning "scenic viewing." (That's what I call the morning runs I've been doing...since technically I'm not supposed to run every morning.) I should make up some cross training workouts with the bike I can do instead, or go swimming in the mornings. So I guess I will start doing more of that, since it's non-impact it'll be good training as to not aggravate my shins. So today went a bit weird. I was with the people that I train with, and we were all just sitting around my phone to find out from Sean what the workout was today. As time went on, they started to complain that it was getting to late and that they had stuff to do, so let's just do our own wourkout today. So I agreed, and decided to do something on the track. I felt like doing something fun and fast on the track, since it's been SO LONG. I like to run...but I LOVE to run fast :) I decided quickly in my head that we would do a workout Coach Prince would have us do a lot of which are interval pyramids. 100m Sprint all out, (no stopping at all through whole workout) jog 200m, run 200m @ mile pace ( :36, too slow), jog 100m, 300m @ mile pace ( :51, right on :) ), jog 400m, 400m @ mile pace (1:07), jog 400m, 400m @mile pace (1:05), jog 100m, 300m @ mile pace (:50), jog 200m, 200m @ 800m pace (:30), right after the last 200 we just kept running slowed to maybe 7:00 mile pace for 300m, then ran all out for the final 100m. It was a very fun and good workout! It felt good to go fast again. It's been a while, and my body isn't used to the speed. We warmed up with a mile, and topped the workout of with a nice 3 easy miles. Well afterwards I finally had recieved the workout which was supposed to be mile repeats :( I should have just done them, because I had a feeling that would be what I was going to do today, since Sean informed me earlier that he wanted me to do them this week. So that was my bad on my part. :/
Workout: 1mile warmup, 100-200-300-400-400-300-200-100 @ paces explained earlier w/ jog to starting line of next interval for rest (Again. Explained earlier.), 3 miles easy.
Afterwards I played a good few hours pickleball where I reclaimed my title! Note: I love Pickleball, and am pretty sure I could go pro in it. Then I met up with Justin Gubler and my dad coached us with strength training drills focusing on core, back, and shoulders. Which the workout was cut short due to time restraints, because I was going to go time my Dad in his first mile TT I'm training him to run a marathon, and he trains me in strength. So we make a good team. :)
Strength Training:Warmed up with 2 minutes of jump roping, and 2 min of up-downs. supersets of 3* 25 situps on situp bench with 10lb med ball (left, middle, right) and 4*12 Lat pull downs. 4*12 (each arm) one arm dumbell press.
