track night

After a resistance workout Tues, a track workout tonight under a nearly full moon and mild weather.   This evening, both my students copped out so I went at it alone.  It was unseasonably mild, low 70ºs and humid.   I 'one-upped' myself from the previous workout and stayed a very consistent pace.
Saucony Ride trainers on 
400m warmup, stretches, drills 
4 x 800m - 2:45, 2:46, 2:46, 2:43 
400m - 65
A 3600m workout.   It wasn't too bad because I took a lot of recovery.  Unlike a 400m race where I can push my heart rate into the160s, these 800s pushed my heart rate only to the upper 140s - near 150 by the end, but perhaps for longer duration.

I am heavy... 148.5 before workout, 147.2 after.    Probably 5 - 6 lbs over race weight,  not too bad for the off season.
