Empty Track
The key to a good track workout is space. Tonight at Reggie we got there at 6:00 and were ready to roll as soon as the high school meet ended. The other clubs and colleges did not start arriving until 7:00 so we had the whole track to run the workout. It was a good workout night.
300 @ 45.8, 2 min rest
800 @ 2:09, 5 min rest
800 @ 2:09, 2 min rest
400 @ 62.5, 90 sec rest
300 @ 45.~, done
For all the intervals I ran with Mark and it worked out well. I would give him a bit of a lead depending on the length and then would try to catch him with only 50m to go. He is very good at hitting pace so I knew if I could just time my effort correctly and catch him at the last corner I would be right on. Extremely helpful to have someone to key off like that.
Pretty solid workout. I have been feeling like garbage lately so maybe things will be turning around. I tried to run more relaxed and just let the speed flow instead of trying to force it. It worked well and I will try it again this weekend on the track. Maybe I have just been trying to force it too hard.
Today at lunch Justin and I did the Bent Rd. Shakeout. 5.1 in 32:34. 3 sets of abdominal excercises in the Raytheon Fitness center after the workout.
The weather is looking really good for tomorrow thru Friday. 50 possible on Thursday.
Time for some leftover pizza and some sweets from my sweet.
