The plan called for speed work today. After a warm up on the arc trainer I did 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute speed intervals at 100% effort with 1 min rest intervals. I was spent by the last 3 sets, but I pushed as hard as I could. I then cooled down for a while. Yesterday I just completely took the day off from exercise. It was kind of nice.

Great work out. Your kicking some butt on that arc trainer. Got to love those rest days. Keep it up man.

Sounds like a tough workout. Way to go, man!!!

I seriously can't believe that you can push yourself so hard on an arc trainer. That is some serious mental and physical toughness.

I guess they don't call you PK for nothing!! Oh wait ... perhaps it should be ATK! The ATK Attack!! :)

WAY to attack the arc trainer! You're gonna beat that machine to submission! :) AWESOME speedwork Rhett!!!!

Very impressive. Really. What settings (incline and resistance) do you use, or do you vary it?

Got to love the arc trainer - it used to kick my butt all the time. I kind of miss it...

Good workout man - you'll be all ready to go once you get that foot healed up.

Thanks everyone for making me feel better about my arc training. Pual, yesterday I had it at 3 on the incline (I think incline 2 and 3 are closest to normal running) and 20% resistance. When I do my long "runs" I do the hill setting at level 3.

Is this arc trainer like a elliptical or what?? Or what is it like??

From Rhett on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 19:14:53 from 170.215.58.122

Yes, it is very similar to the eliptical, but has a longer stride length, so it makes you work a little harder.

Way to keep it up Rhett you will see the rewards of your persistence in no time at all.
