Another perfect day in Sewanee and my first day at the lake and first brief swim. It was in the upper 70ºs today and beautiful. But as I awoke from my preworkout nap, thundershowers were closing in. But I got it done. Finally, got 4x300 w/ 3min rest in. Not fast, so quantity over quality now.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, 2x100
4 x 300m w/ 3 min rest - 52.25, 52.07, 53.68, 51.93 (avg 52.48)
2 x 60 yd sprints w/ 45 lbs ~ 12.1-12.2
I really just wanted to get 4 in so I was really not pushing until the last one. A long ways to go. If this was my physical shape on June 1, I'd give it up for Finland. I expect these times to start coming down after I get into speed work. 4 min after my heart rate was about 144 which is much better than last set. Progress from my first set of 3 which was just 0.25 faster on avg. Again, at my peak last season, 4x300 w/ 2:30 rest at 48.1. No way I'll get there, but maybe w/ 3 min in 6 or 7 weeks.
Started to rain toward the end so I did just 2x60yd weight pulls. Feel better after this workout, body has tolerated it better since I ran within my means. Did feel the injury slightly, maybe because the cold water swim sprint I did, using muscles I haven't used in a while, not to mention the cold water. Probably in the 60ºs.
Yesterday, did single leg squats, abs, bands, pullups, etc...
Still weight to lose. 141.3 lbs after workout.
