I was a bit weary about running outside this morning due to the crazy wind. But it turned out okay and I'm glad I went to the track (versus doing them on the TM).
1.25 mile warm up to the track. 9x400 (The wind got a bit CRAZY during the middle 200 of the track, but I guess it didn't effect my times too much!!).
1-1:44 2-1:38 3-1:36 4-1:36 5-1:34 6-1:33 7-1:33 So at this point in the workout, I thought I only had one more to go. But the "laps" on my watch looked a bit off. So I went under a light and figured out I had 2 more instead of one. It kinda messed with my head. Which makes me mad....what is the big deal about 1 more fast lap. 8-1:44 9-1:38 I was disappointed in the last 2 times. I had to stop for probably 3 minutes to figure out how many laps I had done. Oh well! My times are still MUCH faster than last week (which averaged about a 1:38), so I am pleased! I was at puke zone for several sets (maybe 4-9). But I found the more I pump my arms, the easier it was to go faster. I remember doing an obscene about of 400's in high school while training for the 800M. I was always up on my toes during the last 200-100m. I need to get to that point of strength and speed. I was also running those in the 1:20's too...guess I'm getting old! A few cool down laps on the grass around the track. 1 mile home 4 houses of lunges 1 set of LLL Stretch and foam roll
