The test was inspired by this article. I did no special preparation as I read the article this morning and ran this afternoon. I had to modify things a bit since I don’t have access to the treadmill. Instead I marked out a half-mile track and used a stop watch to measure time; the low tech version. I ran the first half mile pretty well, the second half I had to rest (walking) a bit to get through. By the end I was feeling it, alternately jogging and walking.
Chris is right, I need to put conditioning higher on the priority list. Last year I had thought to acquire a prowler and push it to the corner and back, but I was concerned that it would impede my progress on the linear progression. But after reading Sully’s book I’ve changed my mind. I’m not heading to competition; it’s time to climb back on the Airdyne for more regular 3 minute intervals.
By the way, all the best to Leah Lutz who in a few days WILL be competing at the 2017 IPF Classic Raw Worlds; an inspiring woman indeed!
Go Leah!
