600, 500, hill

 Sunny, 39º at the Sewanee track, winds light and variable.  Over distance today, not one of my favorite workouts.  Hard but necessary. 

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 2 x 100m 

600m - 1:43.87 (32.23, 34.97, 36.67  / 67.20 1st 400)

500m - 86.07 (48.85, 37.26)

200m hill - 43.50

I fell way short of the goal, aiming for 1:42 (32, 34, 36) in the 600m, and 82 in the 500m.  I really collapsed toward the end of the 500m, since I didn't take full rest between.  

I did the same workout in March last year and ran 1:44.5 and 82 for 600 / 500.  Plus I did 2x200m hills in 41, 42.  Today, I did one 200m hill in 43.5.  My foot was hurting so I couldn't do a second.  

Looking back at early 2020, I was doing more volume and foundation.  It's probably good to do one overdistance foundation and one tempo set every week.  These are the hardest types of workouts.  

Still not at race weight but trying.  144.2 lbs after workout.  

Weather not great for training.  Sunday looks like about 50º good chance of rain, and Tues, sunny but quite cold, mid 30ºs.
