hard stuff, split 600, split 500

Mid 40ºs, south wind, and mostly cloudy at the Sewanee track.   I did the hard stuff today, at least I tried.  

Hoka trainers on

Stretches, drills 2x100 strides

'split 600' - 500m - 80.51 / 90 sec rest / 100m - 16

'split 500' - 300m - 44.19 / 90 sec rest / 200m - 32.84

These were fairly wicked.  I had originally planned a 'split 700' to begin, but just didn't have it.  I bailed after 100m.  Shouldn't have run the 500 so hard, was about 63 at the 400m.    The 'split 500' was better, less aerobic and more lactic.  It really kicked my butt, the last 100m was into the wind.   I usually do only 2 or 3 workouts like this a season, but they're exactly what I need.  I did just 2 of these workouts last year.  Just really painful.  My similar June workout was significantly faster, so I have work to do.   Sometimes after hard workouts, I feel broken, but this one I felt good, like I could do more.  Plan to do more over distance and split intervals.
