6x200m tempo

Last warm day for a while, 73º and variable clouds with a stiff south wind and approaching storms.  I tried a new workout today, faster, more volume, and a longer rest interval, which of course didn't seem so long after the 4th rep.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 2 x 100m, bands

6 x 200m w/ 3 min rest - avg 28.51 (27.54, 27.85, 27.69, 28.96, 29.12, 29.94)

5 mile bike ride

I set a goal of an avg of 28.62 or 92% of race pace (based on 26.5 for the first 200m split).  So, I met the goal, averaging about 92.4% of race pace.  The first 3 were not bad but I started feeling it by the end of #4.  5 was hard, and 6 was pretty wicked.  Wasn't sure if I'd make 6, but I did, and under 30.   

A little heavier lately, 140.3 lbs after workout.  Most after a workout in a month or so.  Still not bad.  Maybe a result of weights, and protein.   

Should be good weather for training Tues., mid-upper 60ºs.  Maybe do some event runs.   

Schedule

My schedule had changed a bit.  Looks like Nashville Sr Games is on for last weekend in June.  So, I may not do the AL meet on June 12.  That would be 3 weekends in a row or 4 meets in 5 weeks... probably too much.   4 meets in 7 weeks is probably enough.
