Tempo endurance - same but better

Going for quantity over quality today. Same workout as Thurs but I made sure I didn't start too fast.

I wanted to run outside today but I thought I better be near a bathroom, so I went to the indoor track. Glad I did. Still sore in the calves and haunches from the stairs and resistance, I felt a little heavier today since I ate alot Sat., probably 2000 cal., so I was 1.50 lbs heavier today. Also, started the workout with a slight stomach ache.

600m warmup, stretches and drills

Adidas spikes on

5 x 400m - rest intervals - (3, 3, 3, 4min) - 66, 67.5, 72, 74.5, 78

200m - 29

Weight: 138.6 after workout

I took an extra minute of rest after 400 #4 because after 3 min rest, my pulse was still about 144. I would have never made #5. Actually, looking at the first four 400s, they were only 0.83 sec avg faster than last workout, but I did a 5th 400m and a 200m to boot.

A 400m is about 1.5 times around the Murphy Center. Easy to dissect the race into 3 parts. I'm thinking: 100%, float, then reinvest 100%. I'll try that out in my next workout which will be speed on Tues., probably evening.
