Today we all piled up in Ben's car and went to the Olympic Oval. When we got there, we had a quick POTTY break before beginning, and did 4 laps of warm up. After the warm up, instead of going to the fundamental skills zone to stretch, we stretched on the blue mats. After that, we did 4 laps warm up and 4 laps speed changes. I managed to keep up with Amanda the whole warm up, usually I feel queasy after a little while. We changed our shoes and did a timed mile, I got a 6:42 I think. We did 2 laps recovery and went to the start of the 200. We would do 2 sets of 5 200s, each with about 100 of recovery. In between each set, we did a lap and a half. Then we changed our shoes and did 8 laps of cool down. I hate it when a ton of people start using the track, because then there's usually a crowd walking in lane one, speed skating coaches standing in lane one, kids running the opposite direction in lane one, and people crowding the other lanes so there's barely not enough room to squeeze between people. |
