This being the last warm day, 58º, partly sunny, but unfortunately, some wind, I decided it was time to see where I am. And it was pretty disappointing. I ran a 300m time trial in spikes, my first consecutive day on the track this season and my first time in spikes in almost 6 mo.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, 100m, bands, 50m
Hoka Rocket x2s on
100m - 13.38
Adidas Prime Sp2 spikes on
300m - 44.97 (13.53, 14.54, 16.90)
Hoka trainers on
2 x 50m weight pulls w/ 90 lbs
I was hoping for at least 44 or mid 43 on the 300m. Something like 14, 14, 15.5. Well, it started out ok, first 100m easy, 2nd 100m ok, then I got the headwind in the home stretch and rigged toward the end, barely breaking 45. Lame. This indicates I probably couldn't break 63 in a 400m right now and shows I'm about 6-8 weeks behind where I was last yr at this time. I guess that's understandable, after taking the summer off. Last Feb 2, I ran a 41.17 ... in trainers! (I was also 139 lb then). Last yr in Nov I was already up to 3x3w/3 avg 50.68, and I ran a 400m TT in 61.12 in mid Nov. Yesterday, I barely made it through a 2x3w/3 at 51.8 avg. Long ways to go and a lot of suffering to get in 400m shape. I did cruise through the 200m at 28 without running all out so I know it's a matter of that long sprint conditioning and form.
I did 2 weight pulls afterward and they were really tiring and my foot hurt so I just did 2. Spikes are always tough on the feet but my feet are a bit better in general.
Not going to run again til Sat and it will be cold. No more speed for a while, too cold and I really need to do some strength work like hills and weight pulls as well as conditioning.
141.0 lbs after workout. Happy Thanksgiving.
