4x150 race pace, Nationals

Partly sunny, mid 50ºs and light shifting winds at the Sewanee track.  I wanted to concentrate on running form today and do a little low volume race pace, instead of simply trying to survive a tempo workout.  I was thinking about running 20.5 ish, but went much faster.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, bands, 100m

100m on turf

Hoka rocket X2s on

150m - 19.82 (6.44, 13.38)

150m - 19.38 (6.28, 13.10)

150m - 19.28 (6.34. 12.94)

150m - 19.06 (6.29, 12.77)

I was going to do a 5th but it started raining.  I was pretty happy with the set.  Each one a little faster.  The last one probably faster than 400m pace.  Would be sub 19 with spikes.  

Tomorrow, Sat looks fairly cold so I may train Sunday, Monday, Wed.   May do a bike climb and resistance work tomorrow.   I might like to do a 400m time trial in spikes by Mon.  

Still waiting for Luke to respond to my request to race 3/2.  He's always allowed me in. 

Was exceptionally heavy for this workout.  141.5 lbs.  Ate a lot last night after a long day of work.

Indoor Nationals

Regular registration has ended for USATF Masters Indoor Nationals.  Jim hasn't registered, and unless he does, it's my championship to lose.   Jim is only guy I know of that has run faster in my age group, but you never know.  There are 3 or 4 guys who may be able to break 60, but none of them have demonstrated that yet this season, and I've done it 4x, even running 58.84.   

The 200m will be tougher, with John C. and Rob F.   John C. will be the favorite as he was a world finalist in Finland.  

We'll see the final list soon, late registration ends Wed.
