Hello world.
I am currently training for the Utah Summer Games track 800, 15 & 4x4 relay. My goals are to set age group records in the 8 & 15, and to break 2:10 and 4:30.
Today I went to the college for some simulated 800 race work. The track plan was to run a 400 in 64, jog 400, 300 in 47, jog 300, 200 in 30. Nothing too sharp, I am planning either a 400 TT or 600 (at 800 race pace) - followed by 1-2 all-out 200's - for Sunday. I ran between 12 and 2pm, when the sun would be intense. The 800 in Cedar is scheduled for ~2pm.
The first 3 miles went 6:20, 6:20, 6:18, which were comfortable, followed by 2 laps of speed changes. Then laced into my flats, another 2 laps of accelerations, and ran the 400 in 62, 300 in 47, and 200 in 30. I stopped to walk 100m after the 200, the heat was definitely getting to me. Changed into light trainers, and finished with 6+ miles at ~7:15 pace, though I felt a bit knocked out. This week I am governing myself to less than 55 miles. Tomorrow easy/strides, Sunday TT. |
