Wednesday’s {Second/Double Legs} Workout
Route: Desa Park City
Distance: 5.63km (Garmin)
Timing: 35:46 for 6:21 min/km pace
Lap 1: Started at Maybank and walked about 1 mile to shake out the protesting legs. Wednesdays’ workouts are doubles and it’s not a die-die-must-do. So the plan was to stroll around DPC to de-stress and break the home-work-home cycle.
Lap 2: Hmm…maybe a slow easy jog? Yeah, let’s keep it easy. Bumped into William who was running with a friend in the opposite direction and spotted Y running insanely fast (turns out that it was his interval day).
Lap 3: Bumped into William at the car park and he suggested we run together. Biggest mistake of my life! He just went faster and faster and faster! And I blame the dude entirely for the blister on blister on the balls of my right sole!
Thursday’s Workout
Route: La Chateau – Taman Desa Seputeh
Distance: 8.81km (Garmin)
Timing: 48:57 for 5:33 min/km pace [stopped Garmin about 30 second+++ late coz hands were frozen numb]
Home to train station with Desa Seputeh loop
This was a part solo run as Kenny decided to run the out-and-back to the train station but “instructed” me to do the Desa Seputeh loop. Yes, I needed the mileage, jello legs be damned! He did say I could do it slowly and I took his advice to heart. I was a glutton for punishment because I did the Seputeh Heights climb as well.
Train station to home
OMG! The “stupid” blister is making way too many noises and my hands were frozen numb so much so that I had to ask Kenny’s neighbor who was coming out of the gate to help me stop the timing. 2 very near misses with the buses (one near the traffic lights and another before the turn off heading home) – like this close II (kid you not. Really. Seriously.) – had me thinking about researching and finding a new route…after the heart rate comes down from 891,465,397,258,607 bpm!
Thursday’s Mantra: 3Rs - Rest, Re-hydrate, Re-fuel.
