Today was my very first speed workout in like 12 weeks! I did a lap around sugar house park slow to warmup, then I did 3 laps of speed changes and 1 lap slow. Then the workout was 1x800, 2x400, 5x200. These were my times:
800: 2:59-changed from trainers to flats and jogged one lap
400:1:21-my leg hurt a little bit after this one and I was going to stop but I really really wanted to finish the workout so I decided to slow down a little bit on the next one and see how it felt. Jogged one lap
400: 1:22- It felt like I slowed down but obviously I didn't. Jogged one lap
200: 39 finished the lap
200: 40 finished the lap
200: 38 finished the lap
200: 39 finished the lap
200: 36 finished the lap
Then we jogged two laps slow at the track. Then McKenzie and Sussanah did some hurdle stuff to practice for steeplechase. I was going to but my leg was hurting a little and I didn't want to push it any harder. After they were done we jogged in the park for 8 minutes really slow. I counted it as a 1/2 mile even though it was probably more. Pulse was 66 this morning. (Pegasus 63) |
