First sit-n-kick workout of the season.

10/11/21-First sit-n-kick workout of the season.

Drove to Pingry at 9:00 on this Indigenous Peoples' Day for the workout.   


My caveat: The workout as designed for a 2:00 800m high school runner is 5x (400m @ 64 . . . rest 30-sec . . . 200m @ 28), then jog 1200m between sets. Since I am not able to run 800 meters in 2:00...or 2:10 or 2:15 for that matter, I modified the workout accordingly.  The target for me today was moderate: 70 for the 400s and 35 for the 200s. 

Today was 60 degrees and windy.

The first set:  71 for the 400, 35 for 200. 1200m jog in 9:00.

The second set: 71 sec 400, followed by a 35 sec 200.  1200 jog in 9:00

Third set: 70 sec 400, and a 35 sec 200. 1200m jog in 9:00

Fourth set: 72 sec 400.  Ouch.  200 in 34.  1200m jog in 9:00

Fifth set:  69 second 400, 33 sec 200.  

1000m cool down in 6:00

Pretty hard workout, even if my marks do show it
