I was going to do a tempo 300 workout today but the football team was out there and the track was sometimes obstructed. So I just ran 3 hard sprints, 90% effort. Beautiful day, 69º and sunny, occasional S wind.

300m - 44.78 (14.31, 14.63, 15.85)
300m - 46.30 (15.07, 15.62, 15.61)
200m - 27.65 (13.20, 14.45)
2 yrs ago this workout would be easy but it was pretty hard in my present shape. I didn't run the first 300 all out so I could have enough for a few more quality sprints, nothing was 'all out. ' 2nd 300m I tried to run more even splits. But, based on these times, I'm pretty sure I'd be hard pressed to break a minute in a 400m right now. Might come close. I took about 10m rest between the 300s. 15 min after the second one, my heart rate was still well over 130, so I took a bit more time before the 200m. Last 100m was into a headwind.
Foot feels better, but still not in total training mode. Haven't done the bike climb in weeks and maybe just a day or 2 of resistance work, although I try to get on the pullup bar daily.
The fact is, if I'm going to seriously train and up it to 3 days a week, I have to stop doing long hikes on my days off and give my foot time to recover. I feel as if I'm still recovering from 2 weekends of hiking. I think biking will be ok though.
Ate late last night and weighed 143.8 this morning. By the end of my workout I was down to 140.2, just several hours later. Goes to show what a big difference food in the gut can make in terms of weight.
* when I refer to 'Adidas trainers,' I will be referring to the Takumi Sen 8s, unless otherwise noted. These have become my regular trainer for most speed work.
