frigid 2x300, 150 tempo

 Same workout as last time but slower.   Was thinking about gutting out my first unholy trinity today (3x3w/3) but I decided to wait for better conditions.  Still not tough enough.  Sunny but an occasional NE breeze today, temperature holding steady at freezing, 32º.  This time of yr, after 2pm the sun is pretty low and it starts to get cooler.  Still ok for sleeveless t-shirt and shorts during the actual sprints, track suit on for warmups, and jacket in between reps.  

Just basically getting it done today.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, bands, 100m

Hoka Rocket X2s on

2 x 300, 150m w/ 3 min rest - 51.84, 54.78, ~26

Certainly slow but hard effort anyway.   HR hit 173 at end of first rep, and it didn't feel hard, and  recovered to 129 before second.  Despite the slow pace, HR hit 184 at end of second rep and I wasn't pressing that hard at the end.  HR was 145 just before 3rd rep.   Only my hands suffered in the cold, as I was using finger gloves to operate my timers.  

Wed is my last day at MTSU for the yr.  Frigid weather continues.  Sunny Thurs - Sat.  Thur-Friday same as today, but bitterly cold wind chills on Thurs.  Sat looks good.  Sunny, light winds, mid 40s.  I may bike on Thur and wait til Sat to go to the track, or I may go Fri and Sun.   Sun - Tues a change in weather, low-upper 50º cloudy and rainy.  I might do bike on Sunday, and visit the wet track on Mon or Tues.
