Today began the hard stuff. Upper 50ºs, sunny, and very windy at the Marist track today. I have 12 days before the Masters Indoor Championship and this was the first of 4 tough conditioning workouts I intend to complete before. This was the first 'split 700' I've been able to complete in a year. It went ok, despite the high winds.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, 100m, bands
2 x 100m strides ~ 15.5
Hoka rocket Xs on
'split 700' - 500m - 81.08 (63.08, 18.00)/ 90 sec rest / 200m - 32.43 (1:53.51 total)
200m - 27.93
This is one hard motha. Not only lactic burn but lung burn as well. I was on the ground for quite a while afterward. My 400m was a bit faster than intended and my last 100m of the 500m was into a stiff wind. Compared to the 2 split 700s I did last yr, this final 200m was the fastest, and also total time was the fastest. So, I'm on target. Finished with a relaxed 200m. Was going to do more but planning another hard one tomorrow so kept the volume nominal.
Certainly a bit late in the season to try anything new, but I ordered a hip thrust device for working the glutes, and a Coros sports watch to track heart rate.
137.9 lbs after workout.
