Gah, this one is still so hard. I thought I could do the upper jogging range but I had to take a short walking break towards the end. On most of the other iTrains, I can do the upper jogging, even a bit over that. Not this one.

8/28/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 9
Intervals, 31 minutes

I did the jogging level for the first 7 minutes, then bumped up to running level 1.

Elliptical
9 minutes

As Grace said, that was a hard workout. It didn't leave me with much for the elliptical.

8/23/07

Outdoor run:

6.69 mph

J and I both struggled. My legs felt like lead, jelly lead, if that makes any sense.

Treadmill:
iTrain set 14, 41 minutes

Elliptical:
10 minutes


Oh man, it was hot this morning. I really didn't want to do the elliptical but J got me to do the 10 minutes anyway.

8/19/07

Outdoor (track) run:

ITrain outdoor set 6, phase 1

33:11

(+ 0.5 miles to calibrate the Nike Ipod thing).

The Nike thing said I did 3.89 miles, but I think it was less. It was a hard workout, the last push to the 7/8 felt that hard in the heat but I'm sure I wasn't running much faster at that point than the 5/6 phase. Still, it felt good and was definitely a challenge to my normal steady-state runs.

8/16/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 12, 41 minutes

Upright bike:
9 minutes

Dripping with sweat. I used the upper range of the jogging on this one and pushed the speed at the end. That left very little energy for the bike part, but I did keep the heart rate up.

8/14/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 21 Intervals
31 minutes

Wow, that's a fast one. I started out as a jogger for the first 8-9 minutes, then switched it up to runner, level 1. It felt good but the recoveries were still pretty fast!

Somehow, I finished this one today. I did go pretty easy on the elliptical and used only the slowest jogging speeds but still, this was long and hard, but good. LOTS of sweat.

8/9/07

Outdoor run:
3.97 miles
34:51

6.84 mph

We pushed a little hard in the first half, at least to me it seemed like we did. Then as I slowed, a girl in a yoga shirt and her bf started to pass us and I couldn't let that happen. If she looked like a real runner, I have no problem with her passing. A yoga shirt? Nah. So it was faster than I might have preferred but good nonetheless.

We told ourselves we weren't going to work out this morning so the morning was a slow lazy treat. Then we convinced ourselves to run since it was all gray and overcast. The goal was a 40 minute run, regardless of distance.

8/4/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 15, 41 minutes

This is a killer, every time. I pushed and did the upper end of the jogging and then I only had juice enough for:

I definitely have a psychological block against finishing this one. I know it's a very hard one, but when they say there is 15 minutes left, I just know that I can't do that. Ack!

Treadmill:
iTrain set 15, 41 minutes

Damn, that is one hard iTrain. I knew that going in so I did the slow jog speed and I still had to take a slight 20 second rest.

7/17/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 17, 34 minutes

Ack, this was one of the worst workouts! I got the crappy treadmill at the hotel gym, it felt like it was inclined even at the 0% level so my legs were cramping. It was humid and HOT. I was sweating copiously. I couldn't keep up with running and I gave up and went to drink some water in my much cooler hotel room. Blah.

7/9/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 13, 40 minutes

Took one small break. Probably overdid it, as I used to be able to do over the top jogging speed and I tried this time to do the top jogging speed, and ended up worn out. J even commented on my strange color after the workout so I may have pushed too hard, too fast.

Well, the gym was packed downstairs again so I went runnin' with J. It was kinda hard, I was fighting a cramp and didn't have sunglasses but the cramp went away when I stopped to stare at the teeny tiny little ducklings in the lake. Then a mean lady told me they wouldn't make it b/c they are not meant to be in saltwater. Wah!

I hate the cycle: it is so much harder than the treadmill or elliptical, and I cannot go at the levels they tell me. Maybe I'll get used to it? This was a long hard workout at moderate levels.

The weather could not have been more perfect. As we were standing around for the race start, I knew that I would not need my hoody-thing but there was no time to stash it so it ended up around my waist at ~8 minutes. It was a good run, but boy, my legs knew when I hit 40 minutes! A nice flat run though. Yay!
