Missed my Core Training class this morning - I really just couldn't talk myself out of the house into the rain - so I went to my first Mat Pilates class. The instructor was very no-BS. She didn't demonstrate anything, but relied on her ability to explain what she wanted. She's good though, there's no doubting that. I'm interested to see how sore I am tomorrow.
Run today was a mixed tempo run. Five min warmup followed by 4x 3t, 2r (that's 3 Tempo, 2 recovery). None of my gadgetry was working today, so I relied on my heart rate monitor and the good ole treadmill. Not sure how fast I was going exactly, but it felt about right and my heart rate breakdown was as follows:
WU: 122
1st set: 155/128
2nd set: 160/130
3rd set: 162/131
4th set: 165/138
CD from 138 to 131
I was a little worried about this one because I didn't want to go too fast during the tempo sections, for fear that I would not be able to sustain & recover properly. But fortunately, I had good guidelines for pacing. I thought about long strides during the tempo and deep breaths/hydrating during recovery. Successful run.
