After tapering/getting lazy/being a cold wimp for the two weeks prior to the marathon, the marathon getting cancel, being cooped up all weekend do to the ice storm it felt GREAT to get back to the gym. December’s focus is on getting stronger. More lifting, less running.
Yesterday’s workout was short, sweet, and tiring! It was one of my shorter workouts, but I definitely feel it today. My running this month is going to mainly consist of HIIT and hills. I still plan on doing easy miles on the weekend. At the gym I did two miles of sprint repeats. 0.25 miles at 9:05/9:13 pace, 0.25 miles at 6:58 pace, repeat. Ended with a time of 16:13 (8:06 pace). After that, I lifted legs. Squats, lunges, curls, extension and press. For squats and lunges I added weight and reduced reps. By the time I got to the machines, my legs were already pretty spent. I am feeling it in my quads today!
Tonight I plan on going to the gym and walking at an incline to loosen up and then doing the Body Pump class. I thought about doing spin after, but let’s not get too crazy when getting back into the swing of things!
