haha....YAY ! That's awesome. I want to know more about Heartbreak Hill. I wish I lived there so I could do hill repeats like that...or at least TRY.
Only a runner could think and say..WOW...that sounds like fun :-)
Well...YESTERDAY...I ran 3 1/2 hours just because. I have no earthly idea how far.I couldn't find my ipod and I did a new route. I am thinking 21/22 miles.
Sadly..I have to go to work.
However, hot yoga later.
On Friday I did 10 speed intervals on recumbent bike. Total workout 40 minutes a little over 10 miles.Average heart rate 137 with a peak of 156. Today I did upper and lower body strength training. Was able to increase number of reps on calf raises (and to think that a year ago I couldn't even do one on my left leg) and plies. Did lunges, squats, plies and calf raises. Upper body strength training -- keeping reps and weights the same -- as they are still challenging me.
13.5 miles on recumbent bike. Total workout 55 minutes - 45 minutes in cardio range - 125 average peak of 137. Great workout. Cold outside so thankful I can work out inside -
Today I did upper body strength training. Was able to increase reps on several of the exercises and feelin' sore -- but it's always so wonderful to watch the progress.
I banged out 7 miles on the treadmill, did some shoulder and bicep weight training, then did core strength exercises . . . I'm going to relax with a little LOST now!
I was frustrated by my daughter not being able to get a flight back to Boston due to weather conditions so I took out my frustration on my recumbent bike. I did 8 miles in 29:04 a new record. Total work out 40 minutes for 10.5 miles and for 30 min. intense cardio average heart 145 with peak of 159 - not bad for this 56 year old!
