Personal:

Attended Japanese high school and finished in March 2020. Was very lucky to be able to be a member of a very good team of runners at my high school, even though I was injured most of the time and was not able to be much of a contributor. Am currently doing an Engineering internship at a large manufacturer of Automotive transmissions, etc. It is really exciting. In spring of 2021, if COVID-19 has subsided, I am planning to serve an LDS mission, after which I plan to go to college and study Engineering.

Total Distance
6.00

Ran 5 x 500m with 500m jogging in between.  We were divided into three groups.  I was in the slow group.  Our goal was to run each 500m in 1:40.  My times were all over the place, with the fastest one (the last one) in 1:36 and the slowest one (first one) in 1:43.  I wasn't satisfied with my times.  I have been slack and haven't had much motivation recently.   Somehow I need to get the excitement back.

After we ran 6 x 400m hill sprints.  Coach always has us run hill sprints after a hard workout.

A really good mantra is "you train to race, not race to train". A workout where you run consistent times is more beneficial to fitness than going slower or faster and having the same average as the consistent ones.

You could be getting burned out mentally. Some good remedies are what I mentioned above, taking time off of fast stuff and just do a week or two of nice slow running for the mere purpose of enjoyment, or write down some goals you want to accomplish this season. I always think about goals when I'm running, it helps.

I think one of the hardest things for me right now is that while I was recovering from my broken ankle, I got used to not training so hard.

Coach has us do two and sometimes three hard training sessions a week and the rest are easy days of running. On the easy days coach doesn't let us wear watches, so that we run more on feel.
