My workout was a little all over the place today. I met the East High team at Wheeler Farm this morning. Bill wanted them to run 10 sets of 1 minute on/1 minute off, which was not my original plan. But, I thought it would be more productive to run with some running partners instead of by myself, so I jumped in their workout. I thought that running with the boys on the team would help my turnover.
I had warmed up two miles already by the time the team got there. I ran three more with the team. We covered about 3.2 miles in the 20 minutes it took us to run 10 x 1 minutes on/off. So, we were moving pretty well. I thought of doing 5 more on my own, but decided to give my aching achilles a break. Then, we ran 4 sets of grass relays, which really got my sprinting muscles working. I only managed a 1.5 mile cooldown, because I had to get home to the kids. Teren is at scout camp this week, so my training time is limited.
I can feel the effects of the strength work I have been doing. I am holding my form better. Hopefully it will convert into some better race times. It was fun running in the mud and rain at Wheeler Farm this morning. |
