A very interesting morning at the track. I came with a 200m workout that Jake was so nice to share with me. I started trembling a little as I pulled up to the track. I always do. That quickly leaves once I warm up thankfully. 

1.5 mile warm up at a very slow pace. My friend Julie showed up. She did some small spurts of her own speed work, but I plugged into my own. So...

3x (4x200m) with a 200m recovery in between, 400m recovery after the 4th repeat on each set.

SO HARD. SO SWEATY -it was warmer out today. SO DETERMINED. I made it through all 12!

I need to get them all a little more consistent with the times, but, splits for each 200: 

1- 40 sec

2- 46 ah oh, too slow

3- 43 more like it

4- 42 sec

5- 44

6- 42

7- 44

8- 45 too slow

9- 44

10-43

11- 44

12- 41

Ran some cool down with Julie after. Beautiful morning.

Pm update*** ran a very slow 3 miles. didn't feel to bad. But I could tell my legs were sore from this mornings track stuff.

Awesome workout today! And on tired legs and everything :) Way to get those 5k legs moving!

Do you like 400s or 200s better?

From Lily on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 08:59:47 from 67.199.178.210

Thank you! And thank you again for the workout!!! You're seriously THE BEST!

From Lily on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 09:00:58 from 67.199.178.210

Andrea thanks for giving me the drive vicariously through your blog last night. It really did! I like 200's waaaay better! :) 800's are scary in my opinion haha

From Lily on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 09:01:33 from 67.199.178.210

Andrea which do you like better 200 or 400?

From Andrea on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 09:04:25 from 72.37.244.100

200s definitely. They are mentally so much easier. But once it gets past doing 12 of them, I think I would rather do 400s so I don't have to do so many reps. Maybe I should just get mentally stronger? haha

From Lily on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 09:05:48 from 67.199.178.210

Oh the mental part.... a whole different can of worms!

I was wondering where Julie went. . . and where you were! The gym was empty! Spring break!!! Wow. I need to hit the track too. Good job, and thanks for the comments :)

From Rachelle on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 09:17:29 from 199.190.170.31

Great work Lily! You did this perfectly and Wow what a tough workout with such short recovery. I am very impressed. :)

From Carina on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:18:29 from 204.15.86.83

Way to rock the speed work. I'm excited and nervous to do these types of workouts again!! If we lived closer it would be fun to meet and do them :)

Way to go Lily!
