To start, the running clinic actually wasn't that bad. I mean it wasn't fun- but it wasn't as painful as the first time I went running with Erica where we just did a few miles straight without stopping.
So the workout for the running clinic was so:
A warm up of a few stretches and lunges- nothing too intense and nothing to bring up the heart rate.
Then:
One 400 meter at a jog with a set of 4 stairs
One 300 meter run, 100 meter jog with a set of 3 stairs
One 200 meter run, 200 meter jog with a set of 2 stairs
One 100 meter run, 300 meter jog with a set of 1 stair.
That part was HARD - and I actually just ended up jogging the whole thing. I can't sustain that kind of a run and have anything left over for a set of stairs! It was a damn good set and one that I have to try again. When I am more fit...
We then moved on to a 1 1/2 minute plank followed by:
20 squat jumps and 100 meter sprint... we did this five times.
That actually wasn't that bad. Not that I am in any way a sprinter, but I am much better at bursts of energy then a cool down then a sustained long run that is slower.
After that we did 50 sit ups with a partner pushing us down and 50 leg lifts with a partner pushing our legs down. Those were great for the abs and was still feeling it even on Friday!
So that was the running clinic- not terrible, but still not on any level enjoyable. HA! I felt not triumphant- but good for getting through the whole thing and not being the slowest- until Erica told me that this teacher had let us off easy and that most trainings were harder :(
::Sigh:: What a total bubble burst!
