Run Day

I'm getting back in the groove after my trip and move. Today I was able to get out and do a little speed work on a bridge by my new house. It's not a really tall bridge but it's long and the grade steadily increases to the apex. I also ran in a new pair of shoes today for the first time. They are Zoot speed shoes and at first I really didn't like them. But I thought I'd give them a try and do the complete workout with them on and by the end of the workout I was really starting to like them. They are actually designed to be worn barefooted. I'll have to give that a try sometime. Ok back to the workout.

This was a speed workout called TOSH from crossfit endurance.

3 x (200m + 400m + 600m) rest after each run the exact time it took to run the distance. Example; 200m took me 37 seconds so I rested 37 seconds before starting the 400m run.

Overall I felt pretty good. I don't have my GPS watch with me right now but my time was 23:59 and that includes the rest periods. It's a good workout that doesn't seem that bad until your 300m into that first 400m run. It's a great anaerobic workout, give it a try!
