Today for practice, I met up with Larry at Sugarhouse park for another Speed workout this week. So I did a mile warm up then stretched while Larry finished out his lap. The workout was supposed to be 4-8 200s, it depends on how well I do. My times were supposed to be 36 seconds. So I did the first 4 200s with a ton of pain and exhaustion, I could definately feel yesterday. My times went like this 38, 40, 39, and 39 I think was the fourth one. Then Larry said I could use some more recovery than I was getting because the recovery was just jogging across the field to the next one. Then I did 2 200 meter strides picking up the pace at when he said to pick up the pace. Then Larry changed the workout a bit, so instead of doing 4 more 200s I did 2 more 200s and a 400. The workout actually went 200, 400, 200. My times went like this 36, 78, 36. For these I hit my times exactly and on the 400 I hit the time faster than I expected. On the 400 I was just supposed to be under 80 seconds, I was exhausted going into it so I was not expecting to hit it faster, my time was 78 seconds. Then after I caught my breath I did my last 200 and a cooldown. The cooldown was 3 laps to finish me off at 3 for the day. I still need one more mile but at the moment my legs hurt way too much to go any more. |
