Weekly Training Update: 6/10-6/16

I wish I could tell you about my training last week. I do. Really. As I look back on the week, though, I can't remember much.

I know I ran - thanks to the MOTOACTV. I know I taught my classes - thanks to my paycheck. And I know I hydrated, thanks to the nearly empty Cherry Limeade and Watermelon nuun tubes. It will be a sad day when those were gone.

To give you a highlight, a stellar story or something quippy, I'm not sure I can. I can tell you that I did a speed workout on Friday that I gleaned from Runner's World. It's a 1-2-3 ladder that you can customize to your needs. It was hard. I wanted to not do it. But I did.

And that's that.

    Love that pic of you! Look at your arm definition! :)

    What did you decide on Garmin vs that other thing?

  3. Was this the ladder where the distances get LONGER? Cause that looked tough. Good work! I prefer the ones where you start long and it gets shorter and faster. What were your distances?

    1. The ladder is 1 min hard, 1 min rest, 2 min hard, 2 min rest, 3 min hard, 3 min rest. You can be done there or descend-ascent to your heart's content. I did 1-2-3-2-1 for the 4.17-miler, which included warmup and cool down. I much prefer the start long, finish shorter route, as well, because that 3 minutes felt like FOREVER.

    2. Yow! Might have to try that one. Since I don't have a GPS device (just a stopwatch), I like running for time.

  5. My spin classes also prefer to start long and end short when doing intervals!
