Below the waistline

The last two days have been all about lower-body strength. On Wednesday, I ran hard intervals on a 6.85-lap per mile indoor track. First I ran ten laps at a moderate pace, then I rested for a lap, and then I did one-and-a-halfs: I ran as hard as I could for a lap, then walked half a lap, then ran again for a lap, and so on. 5 reps of those were enough, even though I managed to save the fastest lap for the last.

Then yesterday was lower-body day at the gym. To change things up, I did the supine leg curls as opposed to the seated variety. What an ego-crusher that was! I was struggling through the leg presses, but I was able to increase the weight on my squats and still keep my form and focus.
