Two Hundred Sit-Ups Week 6 Day 3
Week 6 Day 3 – the final workout of the Two Hundred Sit-Ups challenge. I made it through to the end with no real problems and probably could have done more at the end if my life depended on it.
Required: 39, 39, 50, 50, 39, 39, 33, 33, at least 105
Actual: 39, 39, 50, 50, [...]
Another Trip To The Track
Thursday evening meant it was time to take another trip to the track for a punishing 200m interval session. Last week I managed 28 x 200m, so the plan today was to add another 4 to the mix.
I ran a 5 mile warm-up to the track at just under 7:30 per mile pace and got [...]

Actual: 30 30 36 36 30 30 40 75
Toughest workout of the plan so far. I struggled a little towards the end and decided to stop at 75 instead of adding a few extras.
I also ran an “easy” four miles in 32 minutes tonight. Actually [...]
More Intervals & An Upcoming 25k
Great run tonight and another Thursday of 200m repeats on the track. I warmed up for about 4 miles before knocking out 28 x 200s with a 200m jog recovery. Aside from almost losing count a couple of times, the workout went well and I managed to keep within 37 to 39 seconds per 200m [...]
