Back on the track on Sunday, and biking up the mountain on Monday. My most substantial off season track workout and no sign of my injury. Warm but not hot on Sunday night at the Sewanee track.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, 2x100
400m - 67.07 (16.07, 16.80, 17.20, 17.00)
300m - 47.20 (15.00, 15.93, 16.27)
200m - 28.84 (14.19, 14.65)
100m - 13.54
Feet were a bit sore from the Saturday hike, and my back still felt the effects of those deadlifts 5 days prior. I started long and slow, a little faster than 800m race pace and increased the speed as I shortened the interval. I didn't take full rest, so at the end of the last 100m, my heart rate was at max, about 166. No all-out sprints, but the last 100m was close, considering the previous intervals. Felt good to be out there and sprinting again however, my relatively slow 400m was tiring enough to show how detrained I've become. In shape, I could run a 67 400m without much effort, this was tiring. I'll probably continue the once a week track training schedule throughout the next month or so.
Monday, I biked up the mountain in warm weather in about 25 min. Not super fast but a good sweat.
Weight is about 142 this Tues. morning.
Heavy DL’s bad advice (and bad judgment to follow the advice) for any 62 year old. Little if any benefit for sprinting and injury risk is high. The last thing you want to mess with is the spinal column that houses your muscular electrical system.
