Friday, 3/15/24-
On tap this morning: 6x200 with 3' rest. The goal was 2@30, 2@29, and 2@28.
Actuals: 30.mid, 30-mid, 30-low, 29-mid, 28-mid, 28-high. Trying to find the speed. Is anybody listening? No reply at all.
Thurs, 3/14/24-4.25M
Wed, 3/13/24-
My intention was to do something I did on about this day in 2014: 6x600 with a 3' rest, starting at 2:06 and dropping 3 seconds (or 1 sec/200m) for each successive 600: 2:03, 2:00, 1:57, 1:54, and 1:51. Back in 2014, I was on a treadmill (going from about 2:00 down to about 1:45); today I was outside.
I felt flat today, in addition to a tendon in my left hamstring nagging me. After a bland start, I found that I needed a little icy hot. I applied it and realized a few minutes later that I must've grazed an area of the body icy hot has no place! Eventually, it became a bit unbearable, as I struggled with the tendon and motivation issues. What a confluence of nuisances.
I managed: 2:06, 2:03, then shifted to 500s in 1:38, 1:36, 1:34. No sixth effort.
Sunday, 3/10/24-No John, so I bagged the broken 400s I have planned in favor of a simple 6x150 with 4' rest. Goal times were 2@23, 2@22, and 2@21.
Set 1: 23, 23 (Wayne, Andrew, Jeff)
Set 2: 21-mid, 21-mid
Set 3: 20-high, 20-low (Wayne stopped after 5)
Saturday, 3/9/24-took off. Pouring. Spent the previous night in NJ.
Friday, 3/8/24-
Thursday, 3/7/24-Me up with Andrew for 8x400. #s 1,3,4,6,7 were supposed to be in 76; #s 2,5,8 were supposed to be in 68. Andrew led the first in 76. We then decided he would do 300s, pacing me en route to the 400 times above. We'd take 3:00 between our tries. 68, 76, 76, 68 (Andrew left after number 5), 77, 77, 68.
Wednesday, 3/6/24-Ran 3.73 in 30:30, lifted at the fitness center, then headed home (.32M in 2:30).
Tues, 3/5/24-After a warm up in the fitness center, I arrived at the track at 6:40 (in the light rain) for a solid session, one I did this day six years ago: 8x200 with 90 seconds' rest. The idea was to hit 31.xx, a second slower than what I hit back in 2018. I managed 31-mid, 31-high, 31-mid, 31-mid, 32-low, 32-low, 31-mid, 30-low. I averaged a full second or more slower than I did in 2018.
Mon, 3/4/24-3.75M to fitness center, lifted, .31M back to Jennings.
Friday, 3/1/24
Taking a page out of the March 4, 2018 page book, I'd do three (3) sets of 150s with three minutes' rest between each effort, each set one second faster than the former. John, Andrew, and a couple of others would join in the fun.
Sat, 3/2-Mountain View Park (NJ). Easy 3M in 26:30
Fri, 3/1- On this 24-degrees morning, I chose to do 2x(4x150, with 60 sec rest between each effort). 4:00 between sets. First set was supposed to be in 24; second set in 23. Actuals: 23-high, 24-mid, 24-low, 24-low; 23-mid, 23-low, 23-low, 22-low.
Thurs, 2/29-3.1M, stretched and lifted, .9M back to Jennings
