Tuesday Training Fartleks

Family, Running, School, Training 2 Comments »

Ran Fartleks with my running class. We would sprint at about 90% for a minute and then would jog for a minute. Total I ran about 1 mile warming up and 2 miles running the fartleks. Ran 15 min doing fartleks AVG hr: 180 MAX hr: 191 CAL: 223.

After school I went and helped Ryan for an hour or so with his house. An then went home and studied. I was too tired to go swimming or biking after helping Ryan tear out the concrete in his driveway.

Math and a brick

Today, I pretty much studied math from 11am until about 7:30pm and I am still am not done with my lesson. It is taking a while for my brain to kick into gear.

I did a brick workout today for training. I biked about 12 miles in 35 minutes (HR avg: 175-180) and then ran a ghetto slow 5k in 28 minutes (HR avg 180 max 187). I ate a large dinner about 30 minutes before working out which was a very bad idea. I was about to chuck the whole time running so I shortened my run to just a 5k. I really wanted to get in 7 miles today but, oh well.

I need to kick it into a higher gear so I can be ready for the St. George Triathlon. I am starting to get nervous which is a good sign because It shows I still care about the race. I want to get under 3:00 hours this time which is definitely doable if I have a decent day.

If you read this please comment. I don’t care what you say just show me that you are reading it and I will forever love you. I always appreciate the little comments I do get.

1 mile run

I ran the timed mile today for my jogging class. I timed a lot slower than I had expected at 6:51. I started too fast and burned out at the end. I ran an extra slow mile jogging to and from the track, which doesn’t really count but I’ll record it anyway.

No running today to save my legs for the mile run tomorrow. Looking to get in the low six’s. Swam a fast 1/2 mile in the pool and did some 50 meter swim sprints. Consistently swimming the 50s in 35 seconds. Worked out the biceps and neck.

Started Spring term at BYU. Hope I can find the time to work full-time, go to school, train for triathlons and take care of the family.
