Sunny and 60º in ATL at Marist track. Happy to have recovered from some mystery illness yesterday that gave me a 101.5º fever before bedtime. Covid test was negative. Amazing what 8 hrs of sleep will do, wish I got that every night.
Did 3 quality sprints without full rest today. Seemed harder than it should've. Anyway, just happy to be generally healthy and able to train.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, 2x100, 50
300m - 42.20 (13.32, 13.94, 14.94)
300m - 44.57 (14.13, 14.65, 15.79)
200m - 28.07 (13.40, 14.67)
The first 300m was close to race pace, probably sub 60 pace. I waited til my heart rate went down to 120 before starting the other 2 sprints and they seemed much harder.
Back in Sewanee tonight and some pretty decent training weather, except for high winds Mon and Wed. Probably shouldn't attempt 4 days in a row (Sun-Wed), but we'll see. It's crunch time. I need to do some form of conditioning work at least every other time out. Intensive tempo or over distance.
Pretty light due to loss of appetite on Sat., 139 before workout.
Expected to see some fast times coming out of Europe this late in the season, but not yet. Brit Masters M60 400m was won in 59.9 something.
Not surprised that Europeans would populate the rankings with fast times. I’ve worked with many Europeans over the decades and they have much wider sports interests than Americans. Especially adventurous sports like rock climbing and mountaineering.
