Gorgeous night in Sewanee. Low 70ºs near sunset. I was a bit nervous about this workout, I was hell bent on getting some decent volume in, speed was secondary. A long ways to go, but I got it done.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, 2 x 100
2 x 600m - 1:50, 1:53
I didn't kill these, just got 'em done. My Sportcount timer battery died so I just got an estimate from my Gymboss, probably accurate within 0.5 sec. This was about all I could do at the moment, with my foot and tendon injury limitations, but... I'm now training full scale and my injury is not getting worse. But there is a long way to go.
Last yr. on March 26, I did:
600m - 1:42.06, 1:44.59
500m - 80.94
'split 400' - 300m - 43.54 / 1 min rest / 100m - 15.35
I also was 7 lbs lighter. During that time I was hitting super low body weight of 136 lbs after workouts, partially due to high protein low carb diet with a lot of eggs. I was 144 today before and 143 lbs after workout. No way could I have tolerated that volume today. I have 5lbs to lose and it's alway hardest to lose the last 5. I expect I'll ramp up the volume and speed as I get in better shape. We'll see how the intensive tempo goes this week. Not sure if I'll do it Sunday or Tues. Happy I had the right kind of battery to fix my Sportcount. I'm going to need to ramp up the cross / strength training on off days as well. Not much time before Hayward and still considering Finland.
Summer vacation is here. I'm loving this time of year.
