June was a tough month for me. I only logged in 49.9 miles compared to 74.8 miles in May. There was a week that I just couldn't get up. Allergies hit me hard. I knew I needed to rest and I listened to my body. Then there was a week when my husband was out of town and I just couldn't run on the treadmill. I think I ran 2 miles on the treadmill that week.
Instead in the month of June I mostly worked with Shaun T.
June was Alpha round. Focus T25 is broken into 2 - 5 week blocks: Alpha and Beta.
Alpha is comprised of the following 25 minute workouts:
- Cardio. 25 minutes of calorie-burning, sweat-drenching cardio
- Speed 1.0. Wow! It is fast paced but you'll get fast results.
- Total Body Circuit - This focuses on strength and resistance. No weights needed but you will feel it.
- Ab Intervals. It is a mix of ab work and cardio. This program works your core!
- Lower Focus. As it implies, it focuses on your lower-body. When you work the bigger muscles you burn more calories.
Overall I think this kept me conditioned despite not getting out to pound the pavement. Truthfully, I am getting fast. My last few runs have averaged 8' 40" min/miles. Let me tell you I am so excited about that!! I went out to go for a run with a mom in my neighborhood the other day. It was just the two of us. She is much faster than me but I ran 6 miles and averaged 8' 36" min/miles and managed to hold a conversation! I know the Focus T25 workouts are helping.
My goal is to run the Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon in 2 hours. Sub 2 hours would be awesome but my goal is 2 hours. Shaun T is going to help me!
