Hilly Intervals

#27 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

The plan today was to run 8 intervals on St Hans hills but I was not sure how tired my legs would be after Thursday’s trail run. The hill that I would up on is approximately 500 m

Stil haven’t found my pulse belt.

Wore running shorts, linnen, water belt and flipbelt.

So I ran up to St Hans hills, rested a bit before I started my first run,  oh boy that was a tough one, felt that I was going on max. Had to catch my breath on the top, drank some water and and then I did 5 pushups and ran down again. Decided that I would do 6 intervals.

Rested before my second interval, it was tough also but I was not as breathless on the top. Drank some water and did 10 situps and ran down again.

There were some other runners where 2 also did hilly intervals running.

Poor guy who was sitting on the top, it looked like he was trying to read something and I had to catch my breath every time I got to the top and had already heavy breathing during the last part of the interval.

This hill starts flat and gets steeper and steeper.

Rested and started my third interval and was very breathless when I got to the top, drank some water and then did 5 pushups. Ran down again.

Rested.

During the fourth interval I started to feel pain in my right knee. Did 10 situps on the top and ran down again.

I was thinking if I would try another interval but decided due to the knee issue that I would stop here so 4 intervals.

Had to walk when I ran home but glad I got out.

Distance: 7.13K, time: 1.01.20.6 h, average pace: 8.36 min/k, max pace: 5.15 min/k, cadence: 160

I gained some weight during vacation so this week I needed to do something about it.

Push Up

#1 – 10 Day Push-Up Holiday Challenge

I decided to participate in the 10 Day Push-Up Holiday Challenge.

Everyday will be posted what challenge I need to do.

Yesterday I was suppose to start but my brain was confused, thought that I walked to the train at 4.30 pm but it actually was 5 pm and I have choir rehearsal at 6.45 pm. Did have less time home before the rehearsal and afterwards it was more focus to get in bed on time. Cannot catch a cold this week since I have a race Saturday.

So the first challenge was:

How many push-ups can I do in 30 seconds! Bonus points if you do it twice 🙂

So to be honest, I am not fast at doing pushups but I had to do at last 10 otherwise it would be embarrasing. Result: 13. A bit ache in my back.

Going to be interesting to see how my right elbow will respond to this challenge. Something happened at Dödens Zon beginning of November.
