Track Workout - 9-9-09
Track workouts and cool weather rock! For someone that loves to run long distance, its funny how much I love to hit the track.
Here is the workout we did this morning:
1 x 800 warm up
6 x 200 (:54) - 100 recovery
6 x 300 (1:21) - 200 recovery
5x 400 (1:49) - 300 recovery
1 x 800 cool down
This was about five miles total. The recovery distance was to be done in the same time as the running distance.
I was hitting all my splits and all of the stiffness I had felt the day before was gone:
200 (:54, :54, :55, :54, :52, :52)
300 (1:18, 1:19, 1:21, 1:21, 1:21, 1:20)
400 (1:46, 1:50, 1:49, 1:48, 1:38)
That last 400 was a little fast because I was running with another person. I finished up with an 800 cool down and was really happy with the workout. I felt tired, but good tired...

AH, the elusive track. One day I'll get there. Well done on your track work, it's awesome that you love it.
ReplyDeleteIts crazy too. I would have never thought I would be excited to get to the track. One thing I do is zone out the rest of the people out there, I just focus on my times and pace. That way I am never trying to compare my self to those guys that have been running track thier whole live!
