2x300, neg split 400, 200, 100

 Incredible weather continues.  76º with shifting winds, sunny and dry at the Sewanee track.  Sunscreen on and shirtless, like summer.  

Yesterday, I did a low impact workout, upper body, core, hip flexors, squats.  I was a tad sore from the first speed work on Sunday.  I wanted to do a tempo 3x3w/3 but failed.  My goal to one-up my avg speed from last tempo workout, but the first one was just too hard and I cut #3 short seeing that I wouldn't be able to accomplish the goal.  I needed 51.1 on #3 and after hitting the first 100m in 17, I stopped, seeing as I wouldn't make it.  I compensated with more volume since my foot felt ok.  

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, 100m, bands

Hoka Rocket X2s on

2 x 300m, 100m w/ 3 min rest - 49.40, 51.41, 17

Neg split 400m - 68.51 (36.25, 32.26)

200m - 28.56 (13.71, 14.85)

I didn't take full rest between the sets.  My HR was pushing 130 when I launched into the last 200m.  

A decent first full week of training.  1300m today.  Hopefully will get easier as I get lighter and more fit.  Slowly getting leaner.  141.0 lbs after workout. 

Hopefully will return to the 3x3w3 tempo on Friday, but the weather change is coming.  Tomorrow is forecast to be 82º in Murfreesboro, will probably be 85º.  Friday in Sewanee will be moist, cloudy, and near 50º.   We need rain but just 1/3" is forecast.  Second driest fall in a decade+.  There was a 100+ acre wildfire 10 miles from here so we need the rain, bad.
