Gym Cardio Workout - 55 min

The Workout:

55 minutes of cardio
1 mile run - level treadmill, w/ pack, 7:30 min/mile pace
stair climb - 12 min, hill workout w/ pack, lvl=7
1 mile run - level treadmill, w/ pack, 7:30 min/mile pace
row machine - level 9, 10 min w/ pack
20 push-ups - w/ pack, on small balance ball, 10 each hand
1 mile run - level treadmill, w/ pack, 7:30 min/mile pace

I had a good cardio workout in the gym today. With the pack on for the duration, my heart rate stayed in zones 4-5 (174 bpm) on the runs and dropped down into zone 3 (165 ish) for the stairs and row machine. I should really be doing these sessions in zones 1-2 so I can crank it up on my strength and Sisyphus sessions. Hopefully if I continue to use the pack during training, I can reign in my heart quite a bit more.
