10-25-2010 Run and Workout

On Monday, I ran 1.6 miles in 17 minutes. I had a problem with my heartrate staying above 165. I had to stop and walk twice for 30 seconds each. I still did not feel quite right after the weekend's eating fiasco (see my previous post about running after a high protein breakfast on Saturday). I'm trying to eat more cereal and other carbs, so hopefully on my next run I'll be back to normal.

On the positive side, I met with my personal trainer this afternoon. He went through my workout in detail and cut out a LOT of redundancy and smaller muscle groups that runners really don't need to be concentrating on. He cut my workout in half! Now I can work out my full body in one session rather than alternating upper and lower.

Splits: 1.6 miles in 17 minutes. Temperature: 71 degrees and overcast. Clothing: T-shirt, shorts, cotton socks. Pre-run beverage: Accelerade. Post run: Chocolate Milk. Workout immediately after run. Post workout: Protein powder and powdered milk.
