AM: 4.9 funny how every time i feel remotely good I have a workout that afternoon.  I guess that's a good thing? Looking forward to having 2 easy days in a row before my second workout and then 2 more easy days in a row may allow me to actually do a long run on sunday.  Perhaps make it to some trails for that...

PM: workout 10x400[400] in 71 eek, 75, 73, 72, 73, 74, 73, 73, 72, 68.0! got sick to stomach after the 6th one and had to go poo which screwed up the recovery but oh well went too fast but didn't feel much muscle fatigue until the final one and you can see why.  I have more speed than vo2max right now and can tell because I always went out in 35 sec to hit 73.  Still need to work on moving my arms more.  At these speeds arms matter a lot and can take a lot of strain off the legs.

great workout Haynes, your speed is very impressive and there's no way i can even begin to trash talk you right now. my only chance appears to be that you'll overtrain and get injured. nice work! you doing these alone?

It wasn't all that great a workout. I am satisfied with it but that's it. It says very little about my fitness because of the long recoveries. The 6x1mile told more about fitness than this workout. But it was still limited. We will see this thursday what I can hit for 40min tempo (gonna go out at 6:05 pace trying to pull diana to a womens course record at the red rooster ramble then continue after the finish line).

I am doing the track workouts alone which sucks.

Next week I have to hit rep pace for 800m once which im not sure if I can do. 2:30 or faster is gonna hurt like hell. Especially in the middle of a longer workout. So it goes 4x200[200],2x400[400],1x800[800],2x400[400],4x200[200]. Gonna have to do those 200's actually at mile pace not faster. And the following week has a workout with 4 800's at rep pace CRAZY.
