Workout #1......Track on Radio Road

Radio Road..3.5 times =1200m

Program  :  10-20 min warm-up                     3 x (2x1200m) in 7:47 (6:25m/k)
                     2:00 RI (400m RI between sets)
                     Cool-down.

It hurts me no end to have admit to not being able to count to 6 without making a mistake, but that's what happened at track this morning and so I ended up doing 7x1200m!  To some that will come as no surprise but never ceases to amaze and annoy me!

1.6km warm-up including 4 strides
1200m times :  7:34 ((6:18m/k);  7:37 (6:22m/k);  7:33 (6:18m/k);  7:33 (6:18m/k);  7:22 (6:17m/k);  7:28 (6:17m/k);  AND 7:19 (6:14m/k)
1km cool-down + stretches
Total 11km.

I was pleased with all times and nothing too difficult about this workout at all.  I have to give due credit though to Virtual Partner who kept me honest by forcing me to stay ahead of him for all repeats.

  1. Tee hee - that's why you were an English teacher and not a Maths teacher. I can totally empathise with that!

  2. Doesn't surprise me. See, the problem is that women can't do two things at once... running AND counting ;) I'll give you a tip for next time - carry six 5 cent pieces and drop one on the ground as you finish each 1200.

  3. Thanks for the tip, Ewen, but how do I know which coin to use?
