AM - 5 on treadmill at 1%. 1 mile warmup and then 4 at 6:58. Felt like I had been up early running for a few weeks! (Cumulus 477.05) afternoon - 10, 3 mile warmup to AC and then hit the track for 12x400. 1-1:13 thought I would be a little slower, not having done these for many months; 2-1:14; 3-1:13; 4-1:12 stayed strong through the first set (I break them up into fours in my mind, it makes it easier to handle than 12 or 16 or 20); 5-1:13; 6-1:13 really starting to have to work to keep form together and feet quick; 7-1:14; 8-1:14; 9-1:16 time shot up and I took a quick bathroom break, coming back I decided because of the break I would do 12 not 10 like was in my mind around 6; 10-1:12 brought it back and had a brief thought of hitting 16, it went away quickly; 11-1:15 fighting too hard now, I'll just do one more; 12-1:16 shows it was time to be done. The fours went pretty good. I was happy with the times and that I was able to keep it together for most of the repeats. It wasn't 16, but it was solid. Legs were pretty spent by the end. Then I went and did weights - just 2 sets of the routine, as to not be too sore tomorrow. And then I went out and did a 2 mile cool down on DI loop. (Paramount 223.2) |
