Last 'warm' day for a while. Back in Sewanee, was about 50º and mostly sunny, light S wind. Did a few 400m race pace sprints and then a tempo set on turf.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, 100m, 50m
Hoka Rocket X2s on
300m - 42.69 (13.07, 14.18, 15.49 / 27.25, 15.49)
200m - straight, turn - 27.96 (13.62, 14.35)
4 x 150m w/ 30 sec rest on turf ~ 24.6 avg
The 300m was definitely faster than 400m race pace. It was the fastest 300m in trainers I've run this training season. Definitely too fast. At that pace, I would've run the last 100m in 17. Adjusting for no spikes, it would be about the same split I ran at outdoor Nationals (about 42.0). I then pulled it back a bit and tried to hit 28 in a 200m and got it. I brought my spikes and put them on thinking I would run the 200m in them, but after a short jog, I took them off. Too hard on the feet. With spikes, it's usually one and done. Hokas are much more forgiving.
The tempo set was very much easier than the last one like it I tried. Getting in shape is like chipping away at a long term project, so maybe there is some progress.
Holidays weren't too damaging to my weight. 140.2 lbs after workout. I eat really low cal / carb meals and have been making up for the small calorie intake by eating chocolate and nuts at night. That needs to stop to get into the 130s. Just need to snack on meat or vegetables instead.
All of my speedwork so far this season has been rolling start. Still haven't done any acceleration work or anything from blocks or crouch start, except for weight pulls.
Next track workout on Friday looks cold, 35º, cloudy, windchill below freezing. Snow possible that night.
