I kicked my butt this summer...and it felt awesome! Here are my stats:
Races: I ran (4) 5K's and was able to shave over a minute off my first races' time to the last.
(1) 10K and just about went under 40:00.
Long runs: (1) 12 miler
(1) 11 miler
(3) 10 milers
(2) 9 milers
*I'm not sure how many 7 & 8 milers I did but I'm guessing about (5).
I ran at least (2) 10K's a week
Speed: I was at the track at least once a week doing 400's, 800's, 1200's and 1600's. My average speed for my 400's was about 1:25.
Now that it is Fall, I've decided to cut back on my training. Start doing some slower longer runs. My average pace over the summer has been right at 7:00 minute miles and I think I'm gonna slow it down to 7:20-7:30 pace. I'm not really training for anything so I'm just going to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. This summer has been great though. I feel like I'm in really good shape! I even got my six pack back!
BUT...to say goodbye to summer and summer training, I kicked my butt at the track today and did 12x4oo meters at 1:25 pace (with a minute rest). It was great.
Way to go, lady. It's so great you were able to snap back so quickly from two babies! I'm still working to bounce back from one, but I don't think I'll ever get my six pack back. Oh wait, I never had one! :).
ReplyDeleteYou'd be proud, though. I hit the track this morning (wind, rain and all) and did 10x300 (1:02-1:03) with 2:00 rest. First day at the track in a while and it felt great!
let's hook up for some runs this fall, huh?
