This was my first 5K since the Canada Army Run a couple months ago and we hit a PR!! I shaved off about 5mins but that’s still progress!! I feel amazing!!💪🔥

Was shooting for 5:00 /km and hit 4:52!

Leg Day Leg extensions: 2x12 reps @ 130lbs 1x12 reps @ 140lbs Seated leg curl: 2x12 reps @ 130lbs 1x12 reps @ 140lbs Calf Extension: 3x20 reps @ 130lbs Seated leg press: 1x15 reps @ 3 plates 2x12 reps @ 4 plates (new PR💪🔥) Dumbbell squats: 3x12 reps @ 35lbs After the leg workout, I hopped on the treadmill and did half of the Sprint8 program on the machine. So basically it would bring up the speed and incline automatically; I set it to advanced so I would sprint at 7-7.2 mph for 30 seconds and then 1:30 recovery. This is good because it spikes my heart rate so I burn more and then it’s training me to run at that speed more often. So I did that “circuit” 4 times. 💪🔥

Did a good stretch to start! Ran another 26mins keeping a 7:30 pace for the majority of it. At the 15min mark I brought the speed to about 6:50 pace and then brought it back down at the 20min mark, walked for about 4mins and then for the final 2 mins I ran at 11km/h or 5:27 pace which is the pace I need to run for the race in about 7 months! Making progress💪🔥 I finished the workout on the cryo message chair at planet fitness just for a quick recovery and it’s pretty beneficial for my metabolism! Felt great!!

Running the Chicago marathon yesterday was an experience. No race I’ve been to has come close to the energy that Chicago had! There were 50,000 runners and around a million spectators lined the course! More details on my community! Have any of you ran a marathon?
