Training: June 1, 2009

Monday, June 1st, 2009

At lunch today, I repeated the circuit I first tried last Wednesday. I ran through it three times, each time completing it in under 15 minutes.

– 0.5 mi sprint on the treadmill (at a 6:58 pace)
– 10 plyometric push-ups on a step with two risers
– 15 star hops (aka squat jumps)
– 500 meters on the rowing machine
– 1 length of frog hops (down the long hallway)
– 1 length of walking lunges with two 35lb dumbbells
– 1 mile on the bike (~135 rpm)
– 10 step-ups with each leg on the large metal stand.

In the evening, I went to the gym 40 minutes before the pool closed and did part of my swim workout. Unfortunately the workout wasn’t very good because I felt rushed and had just eaten dinner an hour before the swim:
– Warm-up freestyle for 6 minutes
– 3 x 100 kicks: freestyle with fins and board
– 1 x 100 freestyle, rest 10 seconds
– 1 x 100 freestyle, rest 20 seconds
– 1 x 100 freestyle, rest 30 seconds
– 100 more meters freestyle
