Intervals tonight at FHS. Scott the PA was there. As I expected, he's a lot faster than me. We did a warmup jog, then some drills (skipping, high knees, butt kicks, and kinda of a sidweays jumping jack), then ran 10 X 200. At least I think I ran 10. Have to check the Garmin to be sure... Yep, did 10, at speed ranging from 42 to 47 seconds. At least I didn't go over 50, and 46, as it turns out, is my recommended R pace under Daniels at my current VDOT level. Did not feel very fast tonight, and those things wore me out. I haven't had sprint drills like that since high school. I remember running one similar workout at NLR East, but I don't think I ran 10 200s, not did I run them quite this fast. Warmed down with five jogged laps.
I'm not sure what tonight's workout is going to do for me. I guess it may improve my economy and speed; it's not gonna do much for my VO2 max or anything. But that's what I get for doing a workout from a triathlon coach... |
