Breezy and cool at the quiet Sewanee track on Sunday late afternoon. 65º and mostly cloudy. These 800m foundation workouts are still a struggle. However, my pubalgia issue is definitely fading. I can work through this issue if I refrain from speed for at least a few weeks. Probably no racing til Jan.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drill, 2 x 100m
2 x 800m - 2:48.2, 2:55.1
I didn't take full rest between, just wanted to get it over with. A little faster than last time though. This workout will likely be repeated for the next several sessions.
It was cloudy the whole time I was there except the sun broke through right at sunset and offered up a beautiful sky. (see below)
143.9 lbs after workout. My weight is now in the daily range of 143.5 - 147. I need to lose that last 5 lbs again. It's just a matter of going to bed a little hungry and sleeping well for several days, then the weight will come off.
Indoor Nationals
Here's a view of last night.
Bill, I've been in masters T&F forever, and this sort of problem with the scheduling of the sprints has not been uncommon. Unlike collegiate track, where people run the 60 and 200 indoors (but not the 400) and the 100 and 200 outdoors (but skip the 400), we have many athletes who like to do all three sprints in the same meet.
ReplyDeleteI remember marveling that people who had the long stride and staying power needed in the 400 were also good in the shortest sprints, but that's the way it is in masters. Too bad it will affect you up in NYC.
