So this evening it was time again to get to the gym.

Since I ran a 40K trail run this weekend I had decided that I wouldn’t increase the pace during those 2K’s because I suspected that I would have tired legs and that was also the case.

To be on the safe side I attached the security string. After 2K I gradually reduced the pace til I was walking.

I forgot to save the run after I had stopped the treadmill so I got some extra meters added before I realized that I hadn’t saved the run 🙂

After the run I exercised biceps, triceps and legs, ended with core: did a 5 min plank workout –

1 min regular plank on my hands

30 s regular plank on my elbows

30 s regular plank on the left leg

30 s regular plank on the right leg

30 s left side plank

30 s right side plank

30 s regular plank on my hands

1 min regular plank on my elbows

Than it was time to finish the 30 day plank challenge, stand as long as possible. My old PB was 5 min and I aimed at 6 min (360 s). So set the timer on 6 min. My legs ached a bit but the worse was my elbows. Had to change elbow positions some times and the last minute I had to pep myself to not give up and now my new PB is 6 minutes 🙂

Distance: 1.65 miles (2.66K), time: 19.17 min,
average pace: 7.14 min/k, max pace: 4.46 min/k, VO2 Max: 23 ml/kg/min
