Tuesday I did a 6.4km run on the treadmill. I'm still trying to gain back my endurance. This time I increased the speed but kept the number of walking breaks. I did over an hour of strength training afterwards. I was feeling energized so I uped all of my weights. I normally do 'endurance weights' aka lower weights for higher reps. I do 3 sets normally so I decided that my second set I would try a much higher weight for lower reps. I left the gym with my legs shaking. Good for them, bad for me when I got home and the elevator was broken. sigh.
Thursday I started with a 'time test.' I tried to see how far I could run in 30 minutes. Good recreational runners can do 5km in 30minutes. I did 3.86km! yuck. I can typically do 5km in about 40mins or so. Realistically I'm going for endurance running but I would still like to be able to go much faster without hyperventilating. I ran for an additional 30mins and walked another 10mins combining to make 8km total. I did strength training afterwards. I skipped any torso work and the glute machine. I hate the glute machine.
Today I picked up my race kit at the Y. It's pouring today. Tomorrow is now forecasted for 12C and raining. I'm planning to go sit in my dad's hot tub afterwards.
