I met with Tyler Blackwelder of Physio One for the second time today. He did range of motion work to determine how flexible I was. By showing me various exercises and then re-testing me at the end I believe that I made an inch of flexibility progress which doesn't sound like much, but it is probably the only inch of additional flexibility I have got since the 7th grade when I first took such tests.
He then helped me into the AlterG treadmill where I warmed up then ran 10 minutes at 85% weight at 6 miles per hour, then 10 minutes at 82% weight at 7 miles per hour, then 10 minutes at 80% weight at 8 minutes per hour and finally 2 minutes at 80% weight at 9 minutes per mile.
The corresponding mile times were:
10:00 minute miles
8:34 minute miles
7:30 minute miles
6:40 minute miles
During my warm down for 3 minutes I was at 100% weight and boy did I feel heavy.
Weight & Body Fat. Today I weighed in at 172 pounds and only 25% body fat. The pounds aren't down that much for a week, but the body fat is. I am pleased with that. It means I am turning some weight into muscle. I also measured weight in the afternoon when I am generally heavier than in the morning. I will weigh in again on Sunday.
Katrina then helped me put on the inflatable leg squeezers for 10 minutes which pumps up and down to squeeze the latic acid out. So far I don't feel tight from my workout earlier today. We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.
