I didn't know what the workout was, so I lifted before I ran today. It later found out we were doing 400's, so lifting before I ran was a bad idea. Anyway, today I did eight 400's on the indoor track. The first one felt really fast at the start. I thought I just wasn't used to doing four hundreds, but it was a little too fast. I did a 61, I was right behind the front guys in my group. On the second one, I was in front at the end and did a 64. I was near the front for the next couple, and I was just a second back on the fifth or sixth, all at about 64. On the seventh and eight I really started to feel the effects from the weight lifting. My legs were really tired, and I couldn't get out any faster. I stayed at 65 on the last two, but couldn't go any faster. The other guys pulled away on the last two. Even though my legs were tired, I stayed consistent throughout. I'm not much of a speed guy, but I did pretty good compared to everyone else. Even though I would have liked to be in the 61 range on the last two, this was my fastest 400 meter workout. After we finished, I cooled down five miles with Neal. |
