I had a good workout today(Sunday), so I’m putting it as a stand-alone entry.
150m to warm up in 19.9, 2 min rest, 3x300m w/ 6 min active rest in between. 40.2, 40.3, 40.2. It was hard to basically run 3x400m in 53-mid, but luckily I didn’t have the last 100m to deal with. I’d put this in the category of A++ workouts that I’ve only reached one other time, with the 3 mile tempo in 15:14 + 3x1000m in ~2:47. Both times I was tired going in, I wasn’t expecting too much(sub 16 was the A goal then, low 42’s was the A goal today), and I just ran out of my mind and smashed all expectations I had for it. It was very windy out and I’m certain they would have all been 39’s if I didn’t have a nasty headwind on the last 100m. So, to recap, I ran three 300m’s faster than my PR going into the workout. Originally by the end of the year I wanted to be able to do 3x400m in 54 each, looks like that’s already doable! Crazy that I ran this fast coming off a 100 mile week. Since the times were all so close and I was going nearly all out on all of them, I’d say that’s probably the fastest I can run for that distance right now, but I’m sure when I lose the 10 or so pounds of fat I still need to shed and starting hitting weights again I’ll be better. My last race of the 2018 season is an 800m duel with brendon Merrell, so I need to be pretty fast by the end of the year. I’m going to try to do this workout in May, but try to go 38 on all of them. Great day!
