Finally some sun in Sewanee. 53º and a light N wind. First time in spikes in almost 5 months. Second day in a row on the track so I didn't do much. Just wanted to feel the spikes.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, 2x100, stick massage
Nike spikes on
100m - 12.80
300m - 42.32 (26.97, 15.35)
I ran these with a 3 steps rolling start. The 100m was not an all out effort, I intended it to be a bit faster than 400m pace. It was faster. I had set pace goals for the 300 at 14,14,15. They were faster on the front end, 13.06, 13.91, 15.35; but slower at the end. I'm definitely not in shape to run a 400m with a sub 27 first 200m. I ran a slower first 200m split (27.15) in the first round at Nationals in '21 where I finished in 57.19. So, this indicates I'm about where I thought I was, maybe ... maybe able to break 60, just barely. I was pretty tight at the end of that 300m and at that pace, I would have struggled in at 17, I'm sure.
So, this tells me, spikes matter. Aside from the chronic foot issue, I did feel a little soreness in my upper right ham. The proximal left ham injury has not reappeared.
I still may race this weekend, but not sure. Will decide by Thurs.
141.4 lbs after workout. Would like to drop below 140 by race time if I go.
