Lactic endurance training

[chickenfeet]

Now that my aerobic fitness and endurance is getting back to something better than awful aerobic fitness i decided it was time to start work again on lactic endurance. So this morning's work out:

Jog to baseball diamond (2 minutes)

Dynamic stretching (2 minutes)

Sprint recovery - 20 secs flat out sprint, 1 minute walk, 1 minute jog - x5

Walk 1 minute, Jog 1 minute, Walk 1 minute, Jog 1 minute, Walk 1 minute

Sprint recovery - 20 secs flat out sprint, 1 minute walk, 1 minute jog - x5

Jog home

Static stretching (2 minutes)

It didn't feel too bad though I've definitely got some muscle burn happening (especially quads).

I had Seamus Heaney's The Cure at Troy on the iPod which seems particularly apt given the state of my ankle.

Philoctetes jokes are ALWAYS good, haha. :D

And hearing about your fitness routine is reminding me that I need to get out and do something myself—I stopped rowing a few weeks ago, because it was taking up so much time that my academics were suffering, and I've been shamefully inactive since. Time to remedy that!
