AM: 6 with the slowbies. Been trying to focus on arm swinging even when going slow because I have recently realized how much it helps when going fast and yet after a min or so of swinging decently my arms get tired lol. Then to the track for a sprint workout. Hardly a workout really but I got kicked off the track by football practice. Striders, stretches, 2x200m in 29.25 and 30.5 with full recovery mostly walking. Decided it was fine to get kicked off then anyway because im not used to sprinting and 200m gets a lot of lactic acid buildup. Maybe I should start with 100's or 150's? Really have to focus to keep form for 200m sprint but form is what it is about so maybe thats good. The track was terrible. Never going back to that track. They had stuff in lanes 1 and 2 and the track was asphault and uneven. Wore spikes but shouldnt have they didn't get very good grip on the asphault. PM: Decided this mornings 'workout' wasnt enough so did 8x10sec steep uphill sprints with full recovery. I have decided that form, strength, and speed are the things lacking from my training. I should be making even more headway than I am (like how come college runners are SO much faster than me although we run similar mileage and types of workouts?) I refuse to believe that they all have superior genetics to me. I came into running late in life which might give me a bit of a disadvantage but maybe I can get that back through proper training.
