Track Workout

Well I have to admit that I took this workout from Matt Poulsen and the crew from their workout yesterday. For me it just seemed fitting and right after I read the post from yesterday.

Workout was 3X3200 meter with 400 meter jog for rest

Splits 5:13, 5:10(10:23); 5:03, 5:07(10:10); 5:06,5:02(10:08)

Overall my legs felt fantastic and felt way different then last Saturdays race. Today was a good boost in the right direction. Hoping for more workouts like this in the next 5 weeks.

Cooled for 2.80 miles

Adidas Boost Miles: 11.40

Weight: 0.00

Great workout! Hopefully this workout will give you some new momentum. Are you going to come out and race in Hooper tomorrow morning? I need to know how much to run before the race :) If you're coming out and racing I'll probably only run 5 miles before the race but if you're not going to be there I'll probably run 10-12 before the race.

That's a killer job Benny Boy!!!! Super speedy for sure. I kind of want to do that workout now... but would be too embarrassed to post my times following your throw-down session.

Thanks everyone! The body is way weird! Hoping for great workouts in the next up and coming weeks.

Also Steve I am not running the 5K tomorrow. So have and race hard ;)

Great workout, Ben! Looking very good. You did our workout and smoked it better than we did :) Nicely done.

Nice work Ben! You're in great shape. That workout kicked my butt last week.
