Workout Wednesday w/ Jake A on the track: 2-2-4-8-8-4-2-2 w/ 200m jog after 2s and 400m jog after 4s and 8s. The splits were 39-42-1:26-2:59-3:05-1:25-39-40. Jake and I took turns leading and were right on pace with goal splits, if not a little faster. We have been gradually increasing the overall distance of the speed reps each week and it is really helping my body adjust to workouts again.
I was worried if I could do a workout this morning because last night I felt terrible (from the scar tissue mobilization and psoas massage), but I felt much better when I woke up. Great way to start the day.
