I hadn't yet eaten, but that's no excuse.

Saturday, 4/12-

Teammate Daryl Johnson came over from NJ to do a workout with me.  At just after 9AM we headed to Westtown School's track for what was supposed to be a moderate workout.   On the ride there we gabbed about what we had in mind.  I took his lead.  He'd do 2-3 300s in 47/48, 2-3 200s in 28/29, and 2-3 100s in 14/15.  I decided that I would tack on an extra 100 to the 300s and 200s and do the 100s in sub-13.  We had planned for 5:00 between each of the longer intervals; and 3:00 between the shorter intervals.

We took some time to warm up.  I suppose Daryl needed to get acclimated.  When all was said and done, we began the workout at 10:00.   I felt myself getting hungry.

I tucked in behind Daryl as he did his 300s and 200s.

400 #1: Daryl crossed the 200 in 31 and reached the 300 in 47.  I kept chugging and hit 63-high for the 400.
6:30 rest
400 #2: Daryl crossed the 200 in 30 and reached the 300 in 46.  I kept chugging and hit 62-high for the 400.
6:30 rest
400 #3: Daryl crossed the 200 in 30 and reached the 300 in 47.  I kept chugging and hit 63-low for the 400.
6:30 rest
300 #1:Daryl crossed the 200 in 28.  I kept chugging and hit 44-mid for the 300.
4:30 rest
300 #2: On account of having to run into lane 2 to avoid plowing down the kids who suddenly emerged in lane 1, Daryl hit the 200 in 30.  I reached the 300 in 46-low.
4:30  rest
100 #1: 13.1
3:30 rest
100 #2: 12.9
3:30 rest
100 #3: 12.8
3:30 rest
100 #4: 13.0  (heavy legs)

Daryl captured his own times for his 100s, which were in the 13s.

I was happy to see the 400 times, but I was a little disappointed that I was as tired as I was afterwards.  I hadn't yet eaten, but that's no excuse.   Great work, Daryl.

This day last year I did 8x300, some in 47 and some in 52.  I believe I took 3:00-3:30 between repeats.  I'd like to give this workout a shot, except I'd like to try for 45s and 50s.
