Happy October! I don’t know how it feels where you live, but here in South Alabama, it is really feeling like fall. Granted, this will likely last for approximately two days, but still … I’m loving it while we’ve got it!
Month Recap: September 2020
I wouldn’t say that September was a stellar month of training, but it served it’s purpose. I’m in a bit of a rest and regroup phase right now. I did do a couple of workouts at the beginning of the month, but otherwise it was pretty much easy running with a few days off sprinkled here and there.
Workouts:
| 3 mi. WU, 8 X 400 (75), 3 mi. CD 2 mi. WU, 3 X 2 miles (12:32, 11:49, 11:44), 2 mi. CD 2 mi. WU, 2 X 2 miles (12:21, 12:22), 2 mi. CD 3 mi. WU, 4 X [2 min. (5:25), 1.5 min. (5:19), 1 min. (5:16)], 3 mi. CD 2 mi. WU, 10 X 200 (36), 2 mi. CD 3 mi. WU, 10 X 200 (37), 3 mi. CD |
Favorite workout: My favorite workout this month was the 400 meter repeats. I typically would’ve picked the 200 meter repeats, but since I’ve been doing those quite a bit recently, they don’t seem to be quite as exciting.
Races: I feel like I should just remove this category at this point, which is so sad. There are a couple races popping up here and there, but the majority of even our small local races are still being cancelled.
Paces: My paces ranged from 5:50 to 9:36.
Average Pace: My average pace for the month was 8:33.
Miles: My total mileage this month was 215 miles.
Elevation: I climbed 7,604 feet this month.
Longest run: My longest run was 13 miles.
Shortest run: My shortest run was 3 miles.
Rest days: 4 whole days off this month! That’s got to be some sort of record. I know rest days are good for you and necessary sometimes, but I’m personally not a big fan.
Pilates: I went to three Pilates classes this month.
Planks: I did 75 minutes of planking this month.
Not too much else to report at the moment. Life is a bit hectic, which is definitely not a bad thing. I hope to get back to a more regular posting schedule after this work deadline.
