Took some time off, now back to the running
So, things got pretty busy at work for a few weeks, and my running/workout partner moved, so I was low on motivation. However, all last week I was in Moab, Utah mountain biking, and now I’m ready to get back on the wagon and start going for my goal again. Trouble is, I’m sort of done with HIIT for a while. For the next month at least, I’m going to concentrate on just jogging, but adding in some intervals to my speeds.
Yesterday I ran for about 30 minutes, and had about 3-4 intervals where I ran at 80% effort (not a sprint, but faster than a jog). I tried to keep my intervals up past a minute long, but had a good warm down between (always kept running however, tried not to walk or stop). I think this is going to be better for my mountain biking, as I often have very steep sections of trail that require me to really push for up to a minute or two at a time, and I like the idea of being comfortable with that length of effort.
I’ll keep you posted with how it goes.
