On my way to the workout with the black sheep this morning, I realized I forgot my watch, so no split times today or exact distances. We met at Sugarhouse park and began with a warm-up loop. We ran 4 x 110m strides to perk things up. Then we did 6 x 400m on the more or less flat section on the north side of the park. Following some easy running we then ran 4 x 600m starting at the flat stretch over by the entrance to the Highland track and heading south then up the hill on the southeast corner of the paved road. No splits, but intensity was decent. The push up the hills were manageable. I have had a little taste of pirifomis pain for a couple of days and I actually didn't push to hard today. I'm concentrating on trying to open that up a little. It can be a tricky area to target though I've had some help with a few good stretches. We were next going to run on the track for a bit, but it was a little icy and still had some snow on it at the corners. So we did some more strides at a higher intensity and then did a cool down lap. |
