tempo 200s/100, 50s

Good training weather, 64º, dry, mostly calm winds, and mostly cloudy at the Sewanee track.   Been a while since I did a 200m tempo workout.  This was really just a primer.  

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, bands, 100m, 50m

Hoka Rocket X2s on

3x200m, 100m w/ 90 sec rest - 31.93, 31.34, 31.84, 14.88

2 x 50m - 6.51, 6.32

Looking back several yrs, I once did 2 sets of 4x200m w/ 60 sec rest avg about 30.5.   These 3X200w/ 90 sec rest avg 31.7 and I was working hard to get that last 200m in under 32, then finished with a 100m on 90 sec rest.  It was tough enough.   I then ran a couple flying 50s hard.   

Yesterday, did a some resistance, pullups, pushups, hip flexor bands, ab wheel, single leg squats w/ 45 lbs.  I notice my L side is stronger so I add an extra set of squats to my R side.

Finally getting my weight down.  140.1 lbs after workout.  Going toward the one main meal of lean chicken.  So, 2nd full training week down.  3 or 4 more weeks before first meet depending when I choose to race.   18 weeks before indoor nationals, that's a good long time.  

May be doing the big bike climb on Sunday.
