7/26 Track Workout

Loading ...Did a track workout with Watson yesterday, courtesy of DoG. Went out a bit too fast, but then we took a shorter rest interval (1:30) after the 200s than we should’ve (3:00), so the rest of the workout was a bit worse than it should’ve been, I think.
Need to rediscover my pacing–despite relatively consistent times at the longer distances, my splits would always have me starting too fast and positive splitting by a bit.
Anyhow, here’re my times;
200s: 29,29,30,31
300s: 54,54
400s: 75,75
300s: 55,54 (I think)
200s: 33hi,34lo,33hi,32mid
Good starting point. It’s good to do a track workout again, looking forward to improving. I already feel better off than I was last season.
This week’s been a back-off week after pushing it the past couple weeks and having my knee bug me a bit at LoG Jam this weekend. Did some bodyweight strength work (handstand pushups, one-legged squats, one-legged pushups, pullups, glute-ham raises) on Tuesday, Monday was an off day thanks to my Orgo midterm. Today’ll be a lighter plyo day with some supplemental work–wrists, knee/ankles, core.
I’ve been too lazy to post a LoG Jam recap, but maybe later today.
Those times look very nice for someone who has not been running much track this summer…
Haven’t been running on the track, but I have been training, doing a bit of running, mostly on the field.
Definitely feeling the benefits of being in better general shape, and I think most importantly from increased posterior chain strength.
Still need to get the conditioning to go with it, I was sore more or less that entire workout. Save the last 200 I ran, there’s a higher gear I’m not able to go into and maintain yet; I’d usually be starting at a quick pace looking to be able to take it up a notch as I continued, but continually found that my starting pace was even too brask and I needed to back off for the second half of every run, hence the positive splitting.
Feeling good though. I remarked to Watson after my first couple 200s were so fast relative to how fast I thought I was going that I definitely feel like I’m in better shape than I was when we were doing track workouts in the winter.
