In Sewanee today... upper 60sº at 4 pm. A thundershower cooled things down making it more comfortable to work out.
Felt good to be running near top speed again today on some 200s, but first, I did 300s.
I set the pace to 44 and stayed very close. (14,15,15)
600m warmup, stretches, drills
Saucony spikes on
100m strider
5 x 300 - 44, 44.5, 44.5, 45.5, 45.5
3 x 200 - 27, 27, 27
I took about 3-4 min between and about 9 min between sets. A little sore from yesterdays butt resistance, a little drained from this morning's amore w/ Iska, and a little heavy from last night's dinner with the Princes.... so, it was a good tiring workout.
That concludes my first week of workouts since the injury. That's 10,000m of sprints in 5 days with 2 days off for weights. Not bad. That's a lot of sprints .. like 100 x 100m. Coach Page thinks it's unsustainable. I don't know. These workouts are certainly are much harder than Masters sprint champ O. Peyton's ... but he's a 100/200 guy. I think I can cut down on the mileage as long as I work on the strength and speed. I'm still 4 weeks away from my next meet, 8 weeks til the State meet, and 11 weeks til Nationals. Long time. I'm sure my fitness will vary during such a long stretch.
