A consecutive day on the track. I think the best schedule for me upcoming would be Wed, Fri, Sat, Mon. So today I did the consecutive day. And, had the audacity to do yet another 4x3w/3 tempo today. Knew it wouldn't be as fast as Friday because it was 25º colder, track wet, and a consecutive workout.
Pretty much the same temperature as yesterday, but what a world of difference. 37º and partly sunny, occasional light W breeze. Track was wet after this morning's light dusting of snow.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, 100m, 50m
Hoka Rocket X2s on
4 x 300m w/ 3 min rest - 48.41, 49.96, 50.56, 52.85 (avg - 50.44)
Didn't pace this well enough to come close to Friday's average and by #4, I was pretty uncomfortable. I started more than a full second faster on #1 than on Friday, but still a decent average. About what I was doing for 3x3w/3 about 6 weeks ago, so progress. The 'unholy trinity' - 3x3/w3 ... is dead. Unless I decide to up the pace, lower the volume.
139.3 lbs after workout
In order to get my Wed workout in, I want to be on the track by 10:30 at the latest. Wednesday's weather looks pretty much the same as today, mid 30ºs, but with some sun. Fri, Sat look really good but rain on Sun.
Last Saturday I was stunned to see a huge turnout for the Sewanee indoor meet. The biggest meet there in years. There were quite a few collegiate underachievers running the 400m, about 8 of 22 were over a minute. It would be tough to run under a minute in there for me but I think I could come close. So, thinking about entering the Sewanee meet on 2/17. A good time is not possible on a 160m track with 22m straights, 2 1/2 laps, but it would be a workout and an experience.
Still holding on to the top 3 times in the world in the M60 400m. That'll change soon. Would be great to one-up myself at SE Regionals. I looked at the results at NE Regionals, unremarkable. Most European National Championships are early March, European Indoor Masters Championships same weekend as USATF National Masters.
