After a rest day yesterday, I was looking forward to my Wednesday track session. However, the continuing horribly high temperatures put an end to that. No way was I going to risk being out running in 32 degrees! Not any more!
Instead, I took myself across to Henley Brae pool for this intervals session:
5 min warm-up
1 min hard, 1 min easy; 2 min hard, 1 min easy; 3 min hard, 1 min easy; 4 min hard, 1 min easy; 5 min hard, 1 min easy; 4 min hard, 1 min easy; 3 min hard, 1 min easy; 2 min hard, 1 min easy; 1 min hard.
5 min cool-down
Total
Time 43 min.
I used foam dumbells - which become quite heavy under water - for an upper body workout at the same time.
Probably not as productive a session as when done on the track, but better than nothing and certainly so much more pleasant in the water on such a hot day. I can't recall a week such as this and I'll be so glad when 'normal' temperatures return to the Southern Highlands.
