I know that yesterday I said today's post will be numbers part two, but something happened today that I need to share. Remember that during last Monday's circuit training class I had a personal best of 7.6mph on the treadmill during sprints. Sam was there pressing the buttons while I ran.
Today my goal was to go faster. We didn't do sprints, but I turned the last cardio session into a sprint. I asked the trainer if she would press the buttons while I ran. She agreed and I broke last week's record with 7.8mph!!
On my way out of the class at the end of the day going to dinner, I told Sam about this new record. He was excited, then said I should make it a goal to reach 9.0mph. I thought this was achievable during my last two weeks here and told Sam that I would achieve this 9.0mph sometime while I'm here. He asked why not now?
Keep in mind this is at the very end of the day and I had an intense Monday and really wasn't up for it, but I agreed. So we went back on the treadmill to do sprints. I went through a series of sprints starting with a 6.0mph and worked my way up.
I am proud to report that I reached the 9.0mph at the end and was able to stay on for 22 seconds!!!! Afterwords I went to dinner and then ended the day in the hot tub with Mason.
Closing thought for the day: The past couple of weeks are the first time in my life where I have done sprints on a treadmill and right now my record is 9.0mph. The treadmills here at the BLR max out at 12.0mph. My goal by the time I leave here is to run sprints at 12.0mph.
David Edge 3.0. That's right Brian, I went 3miles per hour on a treadmill the other day. Congrats Brian. That's really impressive.
ReplyDeleteI went 0 miles an hour. I was diagnosed with pneumonia today. No wonder I haven't had the energy to work out...Krista
