6am- this morning we did a little extra than usual. we did the normal 3 miler then 4 hill sprints and 4 100's after. 3pm- This workout ended up great. It was the first time I have really pushed beyond my limits and dared to go harder this season. We had 4 30 seconders, 3 800's, and 2 1000's indian run plus 1 miler warm/cool. It started good and i felt ready for a good day. The 800's were harder than the 30 seconders. Then the 1000's really tested me. I was already tired from the 800's but felt pretty good starting out. When we started the second 1000 my legs were absolutly dead. When were about 600 meters in, i just couldn't handle it and i started fading, first next to matt, then back tell i was next to casey. I was ready to give up. but then matt and casey kept encouraging me and pushed me a bit, literally. Then casey said, "come on nick, dare to do this." That reminded me of coaches pep talk on friday and I sprinted back to my spot and was abel to finish strong. It was good for me and casey both to break through mentally like that. I hope i can be abel to find that inner push inside for the next few races, and really do good at cedar. |
