AM- spring break so practice at 8 am. We did 4x1600m with the same time goal as last week (5:13). The first one I was feeling fine and really just ran it not too hard. (5:12) Second one was a little harder, but pretty easy. Byron and I switched off every 200m after I lead the first lap. Was right on the time (5:13) Byron had been going to the bathroom inbetween repeats (he needs to eat something different I think) so I switched off with him, but I don't think he was 100% so we were a little slow (5:14). The last one I decided to just go with mike because of byrons bowel trouble I wasn't sure if he'd be on time and I was feeling good. I just stuck a foot behind mike and then tyson came in the last two laps. I felt super smooth and my stride felt quick and concise and easy. The last 100m I gave a little push to go up to mike and he couldn't breath well or something cause he sounded like he was gonna die of lack of oxygen after (5:08). Overall- Times were 5:12, 5:13, 5:14, and 5:08. I was super happy, because this workout felt really easy, even on the last one where I went with mike. I think that if I can have this kind of form and relax this well in a race, because I felt really good and I ran a 5:08 1600. That's close to my time trial time, which I wasn't feeling great during, and I felt like I was giving half the effort I did during that race. Pretty excited. |
