I wasn't going to run today but I went to the track to stretch and do some mobility and band work. Very warm and light winds at the track, mid 70ºs. Since I was there, I cautiously ran some faster rolling short sprints. Nothing all out, but somewhere close to 400m race pace. It felt clunky, and a bit painful at first, since I was on the track yesterday, but it got better.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, planks, 2 x 50
3 x 50m - 6.97, 6.92, 6.47
2 x 100m - 13.43, 13.29
bike climb up Roark's Cove Rd. - 23m+
The bike climb felt really hard and it was a good effort, fairly fast.
Unfortunately, the injury area was more sore today than previous workouts but not bad. Still feel like I'm holding back a tad. Foot hurt as well in the beginning, so I'm going to take Wednesday off from the track and focus on strength and re/prehab. Doing 2 days in a row, even this low volume isn't something I should do for a while. Still hoping to run a hard 300m or even split 400m to see where I am. I'm estimating I'm about in 60-61 shape right now. Maybe better.
I'm going to go to the gym and lift tonight.
Time to get rid of this extra weight. I want to be below 140 after workouts. Was 141.8 today after workout.
Hello sir, I want to thank you. I have not run in a track meet since 1977. I ran with my 5 year old grandson in Ireland last July. He said "papa" you run fast. I started researching, found you on you tube. You inspired me to train. I do have a question. How do you time yourself?
