Since i was not able to go to practice since i had a vital appointment scheduled then, I didn't do my workout with the team. Instead, my coach, Bill came to Brighton's track to give me my workout and he was kind enough to run it with me so it would feel easier. I started off by running from my apartment up to the track, which is about half a mile away and then continued on running on the track for two more laps for my warm-up. Then i started off my mile of speed changes! By the time i was half way done through my speed changes though, my legs began to kill. I finished my speed changes and then proceeded to stretch them. It felt much better after, but i was still in pain and thats something that is unavoidable considering my current physical condition. I then began to start on my two 400s and two 200s. My first 400m i finished it in 1:41 and then 1:42. My first 200m i did it in 42s and the last one i did it in 41s. Then, i went on to the field and did strides on the football field to the second 40 meter mark. I did five of those. To finish off my workout, i ran a mile on the track for cool down. Overall, it was a great speed workout! |
