Threshold

I rested on Sunday as usual and yesterday as I attempted to get up, I just couldn't manage. I was too tired due to a hard time falling asleep. So, today I did the Monday's practice. It was new and exciting. I didn't know how I would react to it, so it gave me a rush. I started out with a 5 min easy run and then a 3 minute walk. This was great to warm up my body. Yesterday my right calf was a little bit sore and stiff. Then it was a sequence of 3 min hard run with 2 min walk in between for 25 minutes. This was quite a challenge, however I felt great running fast. I was tired but still had more to do. Next was a threshold sequence. Yup, I reached my threshold. We were instructed to run 500 meters of threshold and then rest for 60 seconds and then repeat once more. This was a challenge and I was struggling a little bit. But after it was all done, I felt great like I had achieved a lot in today's practice. I will have to do this exercise on Monday's and Thursdays for the next few weeks. I hope it gets easier and that I see some improvement. I like the challenge.
