Week 3

I fell off my own wagon and didn't catch this up recently so here's a recap of the week!

I ran Sunday and Monday, one day being better than the other.  On Wednesday I went for a 40 min bike ride outside, I think a total of 5 miles.

Sunday: Treadmill
Ran total of 1.5 mi, the first 0.5 mi at 5.4 pace.  The second 0.5 mi I slowed to 4.8.  Then I walked 0.25 mi to let my legs cool off a little.  Ran the last 0.5 mi at 5.0.
I found that while I've been so intimidated by running above 5.0pace for very long, it was actually way easier than the 4.8 pace.  I worked on lengthening my stride and it felt great!  Then I came home and reported off to Coach J, who was recovering from his half-marathon.

Monday: Treadmill
Intervals as directed by Coach J.
I did 2min @ 4% incline, 2 min @ flat road.  4.8 pace.  I adjusted a little to speed it up when on flat road.  Decent workout.

Wednesday: bike
5 miles on my road bike.  Head wind.  Per HR monitor burned 400 calories.
