300s, 400

Warm and breezy in Sewanee, low 70ºs and partly sunny.  4th day in a row on the track.  Today I did an event run in trainers, and followed up with another brisk 300m and 400m.  

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 2 x 100m, bands

50m - 6.59

300m - 40.90 (25.82, 15.08)

300m - 41.84 (27.23, 14.61)

400m - 60.38 (13.85, 14.90, 15.25, 16.38 / 28.75, 31.63)

Again, too fast in the first 200... I need to be 26.3 ish.  My second turn suffered as a result and I'd have been hard pressed to run 16 for the last 100m.  I need to be nailing a 40.5 300m event run if I hope to break 57, not there yet.  Still might be able to but I'd have to hit it just right and conditions would have to be good.   I rested only 15min and ran another, much more relaxed and a better second turn.  

I was in my car driving away and decided I needed to go back and run one more, so I ran a relaxed 400m, it was supposed to be near even splits but it didn't turn out that way.  

I think I'll get there, where I'm able to run mid 56s, but not quite there yet.

Track Meet Fri - Sat

Heat sheets are out and I'm in lane 8 for Friday's 200m race.  I may not even race a 400m on Sat. because the weather just looks that bad.    If I spend the night in East TN, I will have to decide by 9am if I'm going to race at Berry or Lee.  Maybe I'll just wait to race the 400m at Life U the following Sat.  It's a late afternoon meet, which is better.
