I was really surprised at how painful my warmup laps felt. Carrying an extra 5 or 6 lbs than normal, everything hurt. But after a full warmup it felt better... but, I'm in terrible shape. I was going to run an 800m but I bailed. It would have been a struggle, so I ran a 400 at 800m pace and did some up tempo stuff.
Hoka trainers on
800m warmup, stretches, drills
400m - 76
300m - 44
200m - 27.5Actually surprised I ran the 300 and 200 as fast as I did. My body is beginning to remember how to sprint. It's going to take time. I'd be hard pressed to run 60 sec 400m right now. But, gotta start somewhere. I just feel heavy and I should be back to normal in a few weeks. Not looking forward to the foundation stuff i know I need to do.
I signed up to race in a senior games district meet 4 weeks from today.
you don't take one or two fitness elements and improve them in time off from track? that is what I learned when I used to study such stuff - time off from main activity for injury recovery, mental recovery, and to work on fitness elements that are neglected from specializing and honing ones craft..
