With one rest day in between, I got on the track unusually early this morning to run a few quality sprints with the local track club. It was quite warm and humid for early morning at The Villages High School, and the track was wet. I got to see Rick R., the co-author of the Bill Collins book that was really influential to me at the beginning of my masters track career. Rick is in great shape for a guy about to ascend to the M70 age group. I didn't want to do much today, since I haven't been going on 1 day rest and never this early in the morning.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands
300m - 42.65
200m - 28.64
The 300m felt pretty hard, close to full effort. Splits were roughly 13, 14.3, 15.3. I didn't get full rest between and then asked Rick if he wanted to run a 200m he said ok, and I gave him a 2-3 sec head start. Ran the turn easy then accelerated unto the straight. I passed Rick and pushed hard to the end. It was exhausting.
I had only about 3 1/2 hrs sleep and was not at my lightest...146 after workout. Went back to sleep after the workout.
Not sure when I'll be training again. Maybe Monday morning if I can get up to train with the same people, or when I get back to Sewanee mid week.
