Saturday 1/8

The original workout for today was 4-6 400s then 10x hard up corda hill. I decided to play it safe and try to do this on the bike.

16 Minute warm up (3 miles) at resistance 4.

Then I did six .25 miles (400 meters) at resistance 7 (to pretend I was running in the snow). I did these at basically 95%, I didn't get splits for the first one, but the next five were 41, 38, 36, 38, 38. I realize now I should have done them for the amount of time it takes me to run a 400 generally, not the distance because it is much easier to go farther in less time on a bike. Between these I did .25 miles of recovery (slower biking). Then I continued biking slow to mimic the run from Washington st. to the hill. I wasnt sure how long the hill would take me, so I estimated it was about a minute. So I did one minute on at resistance 12, then one minute of recovery at resistance 4. I did this 10 times.

After, I cooled down for about 16 minutes to bring myself to a grand total for 15 miles!

My shins felt totally fine, so hopefully after this week end my shins will no longer be a problem and I will qualify in some races!
