I have done several runs at the end of January and throughout February and I wanted to incorporate them into one post. So, here is what I did:
January 22nd: I got in a 2.01 mile treadmill run. While I am not fond of running aimlessly and going nowhere, but I did pretty good. I ran 2.01 in 19:55. Check out my heart rate on this run here. I am getting better at keeping a consistent and lower heart rate!
January 26th: Again, I got a Treadmill run, 2.5 miles in 25:03, in at the gym. Check out my heart rate here.
January 28th: I got to run outside today! It was nice too :) I ran 3.19 miles on campus in 31:28, that is a 9:51 pace. Nice and consistent and so was a heart rate! Check out my run and heart rate here.
January 31st: I had to run on the Treadmill again today, and I ran 3.01 miles in 30:57. Not too bad of a pace at 10:17. At least I got a run in! Check out my heart rate here.
February 5th: What a great day for a run! I was feeling good and ran 4.01 miles on campus in 40:30! Woo Hoo!! That is a 10:06 pace and it was only slower because I walked at 2.35 miles for 0.25 of a mile. I am trying to continue to decrease the work load on my heart and it is working! Check out my route and heart rate here.
February 7th: Skeedaddle 5K, will be a separate post!
February 9th: I ran a short run today as a follow up to the race I did on Saturday. I ran 2.36 miles on campus in 23:29, which is a pace of 9:57. Check out my heart rate and route here.
February 12th: I ran 3.29 miles on campus in 32:08! This gave me a pace of 9:46! I am super excited about my runs lately! Check out my route and heart rate here.
February 15th: I ran the Joe Cain Day 5K, but this will be a separate post!
February 18th: I ran 2.51 miles on the treadmill in 24:47, which is a pace of 9:52. Then I did a HIIT workout for 5 minutes. Here is what I did:
Russian twists 94
Plank kick-backs with a 5lb weight 25
Plank kick-backs with a 5lb weight 21
Side plank with arm through 20
Side plank with arm through 19
Wall plank ball raise with 8lb ball 20
I was exhausted when I got done! But, it was great! Check out my heart rate on this one here!
February 20th: Tonight I needed to run 5 miles. I really didn't want to do it on a treadmill, but it was raining and the next day I was packed with things to do and knew I wouldn't do it. So, I ran 5.10 miles on the treadmill and did it in 50:03!! I kept it at the 6.0 speed the WHOLE TIME! I was so proud of myself! Check out my heart rate here. I stayed constant until mile 4 and then it began to increase. I am becoming more efficient with my heart for longer and it makes me happy :) This really kicked my butt...but I am very glad I did it! The treadmill is good for that at least...consistency!
February 23rd: I ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 29:58 and then did a HIIT workout. Here is what I did:
100 Russian twists with 8lb
50 bicycles
10 push-ups and knee-in
20 seated wall hold and 8lb ball list
You can check out my heart rate for the run here and for the HIIT workout here.
February 26th: Today I wanted to change it up a bit so I decided to run 1 mile to warm up and then do a HIIT workout and end with a half of a mile cool down. Here is what I did:
1 mile run in 9:49
