Incredibly beautiful day, mid 70ºs and partly sunny. Spring break, had the place to myself, save for Kelly, a 76 yr old marathoner who was shuffling around the track.
I warmed up, did drills, and then ran a few 50s on turf. Felt ok. Felt that I needed to take advantage of having the place to myself and do some 90 lb weight pulls, which is something I started doing last summer. I wanted to do these before trying some longer sprints on turf. And wow, were they hard. HR hit 178 after the second one.
Stretches, drills, bands
2 x 50m sprints on turf
4 x 45 yd weight pulls w/ 90 lbs on turf
50m sprint on turf
2 x 100m sprints on turf - 14.62, 14.66
I can't believe how hard this workout was. Probably due to my fitness and being a bit heavy and weak. I literally laid in the shade on the track and dozed off before getting up to leave.
I wouldn't say the sprints were 100% pain free but better than anytime this year. Before the workout, I was doing slantboard and stability exercises pain free. After the workout, it was a bit sore unfortunately. The real test is how will it feel tomorrow and in the next few days.
Probably will wait for at least a week before I do any more running. Back to the bike for a while.
143.9 lbs after workout.
Off to Atlanta, next week to stay with Roya in her lovely house. Will take my bike, dumbells, slant board.
