Double Training: Tire Training & 1-Hour Jog

May 6, 2019

<Early afternoon>
Tire throws:
1) Backward: 20 times
2) Forward: 20 times
Barefoot tire runs: 7 sets by 30 seconds
Barefoot 160 M sprints: 5 sets


<Late evening>
Barefoot run:
7.6 K: 28:42.65
3 K: 12:56.43/41:39.08
2.5 K: 14.49.62/55:28.70
Total 13.1 K: 55:28.70


I had a slight cold in the morning. But by the time it's evening, I had shaken it off. I was ready for a run. I jogged to the Kashiwai Water Treatment Plant, which is 3.7 K away from home, ran a 1 K loop in its neighborhood and a 2.2 K loop around the plant, and returned.





While returning home, with 3 K remaining, I injected the pace to run it under 4:30/K pace. If I did it, I would cover it in 13:30.


When I got home, my watch said 12:56. It means I ran each K under 4:19. Not bad!

I was originally planning to finish for the day after that 3 K surge. But I added a 2.5 K jog to wrap it up. I love that refreshing feeling that comes to me a few minutes after a fast run. Breathing becomes easier, and you feel a lot lighter.
