The heat and humidity in MN this week has pushed me indoors. I'm not sure how I am going to keep on the training schedule for the next 2-3 days, with the 4th of July and the outdoor activity restriction (there is a heat advisory- and I want to be smart about it). I'll figure it out! Might be subbing a workout for a swim!
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but as I mentioned, I am swapping things around to fit my schedule. I booked a session with my personal trainer and headed to the gym! I think it would have been cooler outside! Anyway, my program said a 30 minute aerobic run + weights. It mentioned that I should do weights after my "sport specific activity", so I went to the gym early and ran on the treadmill. Knowing I haven't worked out with my trainer in several months, I took it easy. The final treadmill tally was 2.6 miles.
I tried to push myself as much as I could with my 30 minute weight session, but I was tired and sweaty from the run, and it made it tough! There was a lot of upper body focus, with short quick bursts for the lower half (think box jumps). Going forward, I am going to do the weight workouts before the cardio.
