200 on track, hills

Yesterday, decided to try a hard 200m on track.  Just affirmed that I have some speed, but zero speed endurance.  I was hoping to be at least in the 27s, but nope.  I probably started too fast and was treading water by the end.  My 100m splits were actually hilarious.  Honestly can't see myself anywhere near 60 sec 400m shape for indoor season.  Not until I start doing 300m tempo workouts, which may not be until Dec.

Stretches, drills, bands

100m on turf - 14.23

Hoka rocket X2s on 

200m - 28.41 (13.28, 15.13)

Hoka Rincon 3s on

200m hill ~ 46

2 x 100m hills ~ 22

I mean, a 13.28 100m on the turn in trainers is pretty fast.  Probably sub 13 in spikes.   But unsustainable for 200m.  I'm just learning to long sprint again.  At least I could do it and run without pain or injury.  It is a tad stiff today but not bad.  First real 2x week running this season aside from stadium stairs.   

It was hard, took a long time to recover then went to the hill with Dr. Scott who decided to jog the mile to the steep instead of riding with me.  He's signed up for a couple half marathons up coming.  Reminded me of how different 'running' and 'sprinting are.'  He was about 30 sec behind me in the 200m, and got to know that wobbly leg fatigue feeling from running hills.  

Need to eat better.  I've eaten 2.5+ lbs of dried cherries in the last 10 days.  Not at my goal weight but within striking distance.

142.4 lbs after workout.
