brief speed, blocks

Another beautiful day in Sewanee,  72º and sunny, light winds, so I went for a brief speed workout, just to make sure I could still get out of the blocks.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 2x100m, bands

200m stride - 26.91

a few block starts 

Puma spikes on

2 x 150m from blocks - 19.23, 19.09

2 x 50m from blocks - 6.66, 6.56

Hoka trainers on

even split 400m - 60.88 (30.19, 30.69)

It was ok.   I did time the 50m segments of my 150s and the best 1st 50m from blocks was 6.54.   Add .25 for reaction, 6.8 + 18.75 for the last 150m, that puts me about 25.55.  I'd be happy with that the first time outdoors. 

I felt like I should 'do something' somewhat tiring so I finished with a near even split 400m, concentrating on really turning over the last 100m.   I did ok, running the last 100m in 15.29 in trainers and the 60.8 400m felt pretty easy.  If I could finish a race in 15.29... that would definitely be 56 territory.  

Very light still.  135.0 lbs after workout, an all-time low... and it's not like I'm not eating.  Before my workout, I had 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, 3 cappuccinos with collagen protein.  Food seems to go right through me.   

Tomorrow, a few 300m event runs.  Aim for 40.5. 

I booked a hotel room near Lee for Friday night.  Guess I'll stay there so I don't have to drive 84 miles each way in between races.
