Workout with the Black Sheep at East High.  My buddy Derick coached and packaged it as an A-B-C, 1-2-3 run.

After the customary warm up and speed changes:

Set A: 1 x 400m (81);  2 x 200m (36,35); 3 x 100m (15,14,14)

Set B: 1 x 800m (2:45); 1 x 400m (77); 3 x 200m (34,34,34)

Set C: 1 x 800 (73); 2 x 200m (34,34); 3 x 100m (14,13,11)

 The last 100m was the fastest that I have run in a long time and it actually felt good. I had a jogging start into it so I can't say that I could run like that out of blocks, but I did have a sense of having retained some top end speed.  Also, I always run much better and harder on the last interval.

Then we ran a mile cooldown on the track.  I am a little sore in the hamstrings from the short bursts but  it was a valuable workout, particularly given that I'm not running anything long right now.

That kind of speed work will work you over!
