With all of the snow on the ground, I am desperate for a
track. And with a great deal more snow
in the forecast, I am getting antsy about the next 2-3 weeks over which I was
hoping to ramp up my training. Today, I decided to stay in the neighborhood
and do a workout on Rustin's property.
Even though I got up at 4:45 AM, I underestimated how much time I needed
to get warm enough in this 16-degree weather.
I ran about 10 minutes and returned home to stretch in the
basement. I then drove the van to Rustin’s
stadium. I realized then that 8x300 (on
the street behind Rustin's stadium) would be impossible unless I took 1:30-2:00
between each repeat. Like the last time,
I just planned to do 300s (The actual distance is 290 meters.) without any
differentiation. My hope was to start with a pretty fast one and end the
same way.
I wore my racing flats. I’d take 3:00 rest between
repeats: a walk/jog back to the start.
My runs:
#1: 46.3 Not a good start compared to last week’s effort.
#2: 43.4
#3: 44.4
#4: 44.6
Realizing that I was running out of time and yet needed to do
some shorter speed work, I transitioned to 150s w/ 1:45 rest in-between:
20.7
20.5
20.3
Time for a 2:00 cool down.
That’s all folks.
