split 600, split 400

Tough conditions at the Sewanee track.  26º with a moderate N wind, freezing rain this morning then a light dust of snow, freezing fog, wind chill about 20º.    I wanted to try and get a split 700 and a split 500.  A tough workout that I do only about 4x a year.  Didn't make it.  I warmed up in the mens room to start.  It was tough.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 2 x 100m

'split 600' - 500m - 85.05 / 90 sec rest / 100m - 16.5

'split 400' - 300m - 45 / 70 sec rest / 100m - 15.5

I don't know exactly why, but training in the cold and wind is exceptionally exhausting.  I think I felt weak today because I didn't really eat a proper meal yesterday, no protein at all.  Just some fruit, nut, chocolate.  Traction isn't the best and the wind was a factor, but still... I pulled this workout off this time last year with better times and did the full 700/500.   Maybe I'll give it another try in better weather.

140.1 lbs after workout.

Much better weather this coming week, no rain/snow, sunny and mid 40ºs to low 50ºs.  

Injury feels better but not gone.  I'm getting an EMS unit to see if it will help with recovery.
