Not a candidate

Sun, 10/12/25-The workout was 4x1000 with 3:30 rest. I started on the second one because I was running behind...and hemming and hawing. I managed a reasonable 3:56, 3:51, and 3:46.

Planned Moderate, Ran local

Sun, 10/5/25-

Planned Moderate, Ran local: 8x300. Goal pace for first four was 64 with 1:56 min rest; second four would be 60 with 2:00 rest. This meant starting a 300 every 3:00 min. This workout was very doable for my injured self.

Sat, 10/4/25-Went to the Y with V. Did 2M on treadmill, with first mile being in about 9:20 and the second mile being in about 8:20. I started at 10 min/mile pace and just kept adjusting the treadmill, getting faster along with way to 7:00-something by the end.

Fri, 10/3/25-2M run in 16:50.

Nothing compared

Thurs, 10/2/25-

Off from school today. Would up heading to the track on this beautiful day to do a much-truncated workout of 3x300 in 65 with 1:30 rest, 3x600 in 2:15 with 3:00 rest, and 3x300 in 63 with 1:30 rest. This workout was nothing compared to what I should have done. For starters, I should have done twice as many 600s.

Thurs, 9/4/25-Did a modest track workout: 6x200 with 3' min rest. The target pace was 33. After a slow, stiff start (35-low), I got my act together with a string of 33s, ending with 32.

After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high. The target for my 100s was 15. So, I hit 15-mid, 15-low, 14-high.

After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high, 32-mid. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high, and 22-mid.

their last three

Sun, 8/24/25-Went to GA today to meet up with the gang. I wound up joining a few guys partway into their workout: 800, 400, 200, 200, 200. All efforts were supposed to be at mile pace, I believe. They were supposed to take a minute's rest after the 800, five minutes' rest after the 400, and 45 seconds' rest after each 200. I joined the group after the 800. While I don't know for sure, they took more than a minute after the 800. I did the 400 in 76, trailing behind Jeff Conway and Federico. We took a five minute rest. The 200s were supposed to be in 38 or so. Nope. Jeff and Federico shot out like cannons and ran 31! I came in at 33. We took about 90 seconds to recover. The next one was calmer. I ran 35. After what seemed like over a minute's rest, the last one was like the first. I hit 31. Jeff and Federico were a second or so ahead. Technically, we were finished, but I joined the sprinters doing 50s. I managed their last three.

Sat, 8/23/25-took off.
