Warmed up 2 miles, then did 1600m in 5:18,jogged a lap recovery, 4:06-4:08 1200m, slow. Them another lap recovery, then 800m in 2:32, little too slow, then I jogged another lap and ran a 63 second 400m, kind of wanted to run faster. It was a hard workout, probably did too many hills yesterdays run, I'd say I did 2 miles of steep hills yesterday and 2 miles downhill too, so i was a little tight in the hamstrings and calves today. But i definitely needed a workout like this, my arms were hurting a lot today, which i take as a sign that I'm not getting enough oxygen. I think I'm going to start taking albutoral regularly, 2 puffs twice a day, and two puffs 15 minutes before i race, that was working in cross country pretty well. I need to take things one day at a time and do great training, i really want to make USU track and cross. I also need to start pulling together a monster kick at the end of races, something like a 65 or 64, maybe even 63 to cap things off, 68 isn't fast enough, I need to do better. At the meet next week I'm going to run sub 4:30, I'm going to medal, and I'm going to run sub 65 for the last lap. |
