Good fast track workout today. We ran a max effort 800m and 3x300 at 40-43 seconds. For the 800m I managed to PR by 2 seconds after a slow first lap, I wasn't sure what pace I was running the first 400m but it was too easy, I ran 64 and so I had to pick it up the 2nd lap, I ran a 62 second 2nd lap but I even kicked conservatively because I forgot if I usually kicked at the 300m or 200m of an 800m, I ran a 62 second 2nd lap for a 2:06 800m. I was feeling fine at the end though, I didn't go hard enough in the first 600m. But I had fun and it made me a lot more motivated for running in general to run a fun track race. I should've taken the first Lap in 59 or so and then tried to hang on to a 62-64 for the 2nd lap. But its ok, I had fun and I'm really confident that I can run sub 2:00 this spring, I'm also feeling confident on running that first lap pace for 4 laps this spring, I'm feeling really good about ability. This is definitely what I needed to keep it going hard the rest of the season. I think i might do my morning run at home tomorrow for extra sleep and also the warm shower makes my day a lot better than the cold ones at school. Thank you for having us do this workout Coach! |
