Wed. 4/27 - training in the eye of the storm

During a break in the severe storms this morning, I was able to get in a workout. Felt like running in the eye of a hurricane.

Today, more reps, a tad slower with less rest between reps.

Felt a little bleary after getting up with the tornado siren at 5:30 am, barely getting back to sleep before getting up again at 8:30 and on the track by 9:15.

Thankful for a break in the storms, I hit it:

800m warmup and sprinter school drills

spikes on

4 x 200m - 31, 30, 31, 30

strict 90 sec. rest in between

5 min rest between sets

4 x 200m - 31, 32, 31, 32

strict 90 sec. rest in between

5 min rest

400m - 69

Felt good. Experimenting with stride I found that increasing turnover with shorter steps is more effort and less efficient than striding big, even though it may add a slight bit more speed. Maybe ok for a 10om but nothing longer.

Hoping to see my name on the heat list for Memphis tomorrow.
