I'm pretty psyched about this workout. It definitely felt harder than the 400s last week, but it was good to get faster. I had a shorter warm-up because I got to the gym late today. Staying up late on a Sunday has affected me! I'll post about food later but I made a Whole Wheat Tortilla Bowl Salad last night with grilled chicken. I also made a Barbara Lynch's Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Crisps. A somewhat healthy meal after a weekend of indulgences (oops)! Tonight I am heading to my friend Joanna's Acapella Concert so no home-cooking tonite. Stay tuned for recipes and pictures,
Lizzy, this may be a stupid quetsion, but how do you track distances in meters on a treadmill? (I assume you're doing this on a treadmill!) When I do interval runs I go by time - like 1 min fast / 1 min recovery for example. Are you just looking at distance instead and doing a mile-to-meter conversion? Just wondering!
ReplyDeleteNICE! Yassos are rough and you did great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! Cara- I clock distance on the treadmill and time with my sports watch. 800 is a half mile so thats two laps. So I warmed up for 1.5 miles than ran .5 mile hard, then .25 mile easy, then .5 hard and so on. I also like using the treadmills that show laps so its almost like you're on a track. 4 laps being a mile. So 400 meters = .25, 800= .50, 1200= .75 and 1600=1 mile. Does that answer your question? Let me know!
ReplyDeletegot it, thanks!
