Back to the track on a winter-like day, 44º with a breeze, but sunny in mid afternoon. Ran just 2 long sprints, not so fast.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, 2 x 100, 50
400m - 64.54 (14.94, 16.68, 15.91, 17.01/ 31.62, 32.92)
300m - 47.17 (14.20, 15.49, 17.48)
Really a lot of effort to run pretty slow. Long ways to go before I'm anywhere near race ready. Would likely not break 60 in a 400m in my present shape. So, need to get stronger.
I set a goal of negative split on the 400m but it wasn't anywhere near. The north wind got me on the turn in the 300m. Both my last 100s were very slow, like in the 17s.
The only good thing is my weight, quite lean at 138.8 lbs. Must have burned some serious calories hiking this weekend. While I was out there I ate a lot of carbs, like several pieces of bread and rice paella, and still lost weight.
Definitely good advice. I generally eat low carb. At least I don't avoid track meets where they have drug testing ;)
