Metabo journal

Did plyometrics with the trainers down to the 19 minute mark. This time it did not kill my hips and gluts as much, but my knees took a beating

Tried to run intervals at lunch, but felt too fatigued. I only made it to 1.75 miles, but something is better than nothing

Ran the medium loop at lunch with a classmate. It was good to get out of the classroom, but it has gotten noticeably colder here in Boise and I had a lot of congestion following the run.

Did p90X yoga video which was definitely too hard for me. I tried to do a back bend and all my muscles in my back seized up. I had to spend at least an hour on the heating pad to get the pain to go away.

Ran 2 miles worth of intervals before running a mile at 7.0. It was difficult but a good step toward running faster for me.

Walked 5 miles on 6% gradient while studying for the 601 test.

Only ran one of the three miles. Finals have wiped me out and now I have to pick back up on working out.

0.5*3.0; 0.1*5.0-5.9; 0.5*3; 0.1*6.0-6.9; 1.0*3.2*6%

only ran one mile, walked the rest on an incline

Walked 3.5-4.0 mph on 6-7% incline.

Ran 0.25 mile intervals 5/5.3/5.7/6.0/6.2/6.5 two times with 3.0 breaks before, between, and after.

walked 3-3.5 mph on a 6-8% incline.

ran 2 sets of intervals with walking in between. Merry Christmas!

walked on an 8% incline at speed 3.0-3.6. Also did the firm yoga. I'm going to have to start doing more yoga and more stretching because my left achilles is really bothering me and I notice that my already bad flexibility is still getting worse! (and I'm only getting older!)

Did some interval training on the treadmill->4 minutes walk followed by 1 minute run. I started at 6.5 mph and worked up to 7.0 by 0.1 mile increments, then did one set at 7.5 and five sets at 8.0. My HR was oscillating between 180 following the interval and 120-130 during the walk period. I was walking at a pace of 3.5-4.0. The achilles feels better (but not pain free) after doing yoga last night.

Tried to do some interval training per Jack Daniels' definition. Ran 5 minutes at 6.5 and walked 2 minutes between at 3.0. My HR at the end of the 5 minute periods was 180, which is still probably a little lower than it needs to be, but I took it easy since this was my first time doing this type of workout in a long time and it was later in the day.

Ran 3 miles and walked 2. Ramped up speed for each mile starting at 5.5 and 5.7, then ran at 6.0 for third mile.
