week five
Tonight we had to do 16 laps of the track (plus the 2km warm up and cool down, so more like 25 laps!) It was all about going slow on the curves and fast on the straights and then a recovery lap in between. Phew! Emma, one of the trainers, told me it was good for learning how to pace yourself and for knowing what kind of gap you have between your really slow speed and your quite fast. It's good to have a big gap so that you can have a medium pace.
I am tired! But I am pleased because I ran for a full hour without stopping to walk once. Hurray. :)
Tomorrow is yoga which is extremely relaxing by comparison and really good for stretching out all my sore leg muscles.
I'm thinking of joining the new gym that's opening on south King St. We need to be doing 2 cross-training sessions and now that it's week five I really need to get started on that. I'm thinking some spin or bodypump classes might be good. (Suggestions/advice from people who have done these classes before, very welcome).
I think it's my bedtime.
