There those days when you fell like you are dragging yourself around. Today was not like that, today I was looking forward to the afternoon workout. I sat out yesterday and never felt totally settled. This morning was a delayed start at work due to last yesterday's snow storm. That also equated to having to digging out the vehicle for work to start the day.
By the end of work my heel was hurting pretty good. I'm still sorting out what footwear works and which pairs shoes have to go. I have a candidate for going out. When I got home I couldn't wait to get my shoes off and message my poor heel. As I started preparing to go to the gym She Who Must Be Obeyed came in from her walk outdoors with a friend of hers. She then inquired as to whether or not I had already been to the gym. I hadn't and was just getting ready. She asked if I minded if she joined me. Her walk was too short and she needed more.
Off we went. She climb on the elliptical and I headed to a treadmill. My work out had me travelling 2.5 miles in 28 minutes. A two minute walking session followed by five minutes at 5.5 mph pace my projected half marathon pace (today). A minute at 8 mph back to 5.5 then 7.5 (2xs) 7.0(3xs) 5.5 for a while and top 8 to finish out the at the 2 mile mark. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) low or normal effort alternating with high intensity intervals H-L-H-L etc. I generally run a minute intervals because it is easier to change the treadmill. Outdoors I usually see thirty second intervals.
That is written in a confused manner, but then again this blog is more for me that you though I hope at point it proves useful or helpful.
