Perfect weather this evening, 70º, calm winds, and finally a dry track. I needed a hard one tonight and got one. I had hoped I'd make 5x300 w/ 6 min rest but I only got 4+ some 100s, and weight pulls.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, 100m, drills, bands
4 x 300, 100, 100 w/ 6 min rest - 46.91, 47.31, 51.07, 48.81, 16.20, 13.67
100m on the turn - 13.34
2 x 90lb weight pulls - 50 yds, 60 yds.
I was feeling the lactic even after 2 300s so I took it easy on #3, thinking I might be able to get 5, but no way. I started #4 with HR above 140 and literally gave everything to bring it in under 49. I was on the ground for a few minutes and it hurt to walk, but I still ran 2 more 100m sprints w/ 6 min rest. I rested and did one more on the turn. A mile of sprints tonight. Hard work but no where near what I was doing 2 yrs ago. The 5x3 w/6 is a hard one, I had completed this workout only 4 times in '21 with averages ranging from 45.99 to 46.59. Today my avg for 4 was only 48.5, but I did run one deliberately slower. It's a bit frustrating. I am working hard though. Squats, core, hip flexors, and resistance yesterday.
Since my training was late, I ate lunch, so heavier - 141.3 lbs. Need to reduce.
Lol, glad you got a hard on(e) in.
