Today for track practice, we had our first winter workout. We met at the oval and started with a 4 lap warm up and 4 laps of speed changes. Then we did another lap for recovery before we started the speed for today. At this point my knees were really hurting and it was hard for me to breath, so I knew that it was going to be a tough workout. We did 2 sets of circuits. So we started with burpees, sprinted 75 meters, jumping jacks, sprinted, speed squats, sprinted, mountain climbers and then sprinted. We did that twice and quickly got a drink and immediately jogged over to the 200. The workout was 10X200 meter J's. My time was to hit 40-42. For the first one I went out with the fast group and was feeling great until we finished and the air or something hit me, my time was 40, then my times went like this; 40, 45, 41, 42, 45, 42, 43, 42, 40. I was pretty consistent but I did slow down on some of them, I need to be at roughly a 5-5:20 mile for the first indoor track meet and not running all of last week did not help. We did 10 laps of that. I could tell that I was really out of shape from not running all last week because I was totally wiped after this workout. Then for cooldown was supposed to be 10 laps to get 8 but I did 20 minutes on the bike with arms because I just could not do the cooldown. I need to get back in shape because sure the workout was not that hard but for me I was exhausted. I gave everything I had but it was noticeable that I am out of shape. Then we stretched that was much needed. |
