52 & Sunny - Duluth HS Track

Had to alter track plan a little, because half of track was in use when I got there ... not that I ever adhere to a track plan!  Was going to just do a 400/800/1600/800/400 ... but had to switch to strides until track cleared.

No warm-up, started with (16) 100 meter strides

29, 26, 23, 22, 20, 19, 19, 18, 18, 18, 18, 18, 19, 18, 19, 20

(4) 200m:  39, 40, 40, 40 (this is my target mile pace)

(3) 400m:  75, 80, 82 (last one was going to be an 800m, but I decided I had done enough speed work for one day ... this was intended as a light day, not a hard workout)

I decided to pass on the 800m & 1600m, but for kicks timed myself for 100m & 200m at end.

100m:  14.4     200m: 31.2  (pretty sure I can run these faster at the start of a workout with Alex lined up next to me, even though I know he can crush me at these short distances!)

Cooldown

Debating a hilly 10k Sat, not sure if I could PR, but would help me get 6 fast miles in ... as I have a hard time going sub 7's on training runs on my own!

Adios Miles: 4.00

Wow lots of numbers to keep up with :-) Looks like a good change to just running miles! I think I'd have fun running a lot of short fast strides.

Nice speed work. Go for it on Saturday.

Nice workout! Nice times on the 100 and 200!

Isn't it crazy how much easier it is to hit the faster paces in a race than in a solo workout.

Thanks Allie, I have decided to work on my discipline & see if I can do 6 faster miles on my own, that way I can follow it with Spin Class & save $30!

IJR, luckily the watch keeps track of all the numbers! Speed work is fun, as long as it is 200 meters or less! :)

Thx Flat, I remembered, I decided a few weeks ago, no more racing this year!

Dave, honestly I have no idea how I race as fast as I do, I can only dream about my race paces when I train ... but I am going to try for sub 7's tomorrow ... if I was racing somehow I would be in the 6:30 range ... but I will be thrilled if I can hit sub 7's on my own!!

Nice day of speed! Good luck this weekend, whatever you decide to do.
