Day 2 and she shows no signs of wilting in her attack on an 8 minute mile. While walking the dogs today she decided to take Runty, the pacey Podenco cross, off for a 500 metre uphill blast.
The little fella didn’t look fazed by the blistering pace she set lol
The mountain we usually go to has markers every 500 metres so we are able to measure exactly how far our intervals are and today, the first day of her running practise, saw her step up to the plate and crush it! No stop-watch or anything like that until we measure out a flat mile course so, for now, it’s just a case of trying to get into the habit of some running followed by some calisthenics and kettlebell work.
Talking of which…
10 deadlifts with a 28 kg ‘bell
10 bodyweight squats
10 bodyweight lunges
10 wifey press-ups on the wooden box
x 4 circuits.
So, she’s added an additional circuit to what she did yesterday. Good sign I reckon. We’ve spoken of running the mile on my birthday, the 23rd May, so that we have a concrete date to aim for.
