I am on a 12 hour fast today so that I can have blood work done for my annual physical. I wanted to get in one more training run before my next 5K which is Saturday. My goal today was to run longer segments and cut down on time walking. It was also the first day I timed myself accurately with a stop watch while running on the gyms 1/4 mile outdoor track. My first 2 runs were 3/4 miles with a 1/4 mile walk after each followed by two 1/2 mile runs with a 1/8 mile walk after each. My finishing time was 35:49. I wasn't very thrilled about the time but I was pleased that my running intervals are getting longer. I followed the run up with some core work and a few laps in the outdoor pool to cool down and stretch out.
Superset 1
Standing cable crunch 3 sets of 15 x 140#
Swiss ball crunch 3 sets of 15
Superset 2
Hanging knee raise 3 sets of 10 to each side
Plank knee crossovers 3 sets of 15 to each side
Side planks 3 sets of 30 seconds on each side each side
No rest between excercises of the SS 1 minute after both excercises are complete and 2 minutes between SS.
Felt Ok after the run but pretty trashed after the workout and I am starving now and I won't get to eat or drink anything except water until at least 10:30.
