My training thus far has included one long run a week, usually on Sundays. However, on Friday I felt like running a long one so I logged 14 miles. I'm not following a training plan right now so I wasn't anticipating running a long one on the weekend. That was until Nolan and our friend made plans to run my favourite bike path, so I couldn't pass up joining them. I didn't have a distance goal in mind but I did plan to just go slow and see how my legs felt. It took me a couple miles to warm up but after that I was surprised at how good I was feeling. This is how it turned out:
Miles 1 and 2: warm up 9:00 avg
Miles 3-10: 8:40 avg
Miles 10-13.15: 8:15 avg
13.15 miles/21 km 1 hour 54 minutes 8:41/ mile avg
The best part is that I felt like I could have kept going but:
This was also the day for our 2-a-day workout:
Teams of 2 or 3. Each team must complete 10 sets of the exercises below as fast as they can. Only 1 person per team can be working at a time (the other person must rest). Exercises must be done in order to complete a set. The exercises were:
- 10 Kettle Bell Goblet Squats (hold KB at your chest)
- 10 Kettle Bell Swings
- 10 Push-ups
- 10 Burpees
- 10 V-ups
- 300 Yard Sprint (50 yards out & back X3)
- Bryan & Sachi: 26:15
