Tuesday means speedwork at the track and I was feeling up to the challenge. Came better prepared this week as I remembered my sports drink. Last week I only had H20... Changed here at work and jogged down to the track. After a short warmup around the track with Tracey and Gregg, Gregg (Bill couldn't make it today) gave us the rundown on the workout. 400 m then 800 m with a jog 1/2 the distance in between for 3 sets! OUCH!
Based on last week my goal was 2:03 for 400's , 4:06 for 800's.....
Started the first 400 and my legs felt strong. There was a strong wind from the north so one side of the track was a little harder than the other.. Hate that darn wind... hit the lap button at 1:52:18! I'll take it... Jogged 200 then started my first 800. Legs still felt good but I was getting winded.. In fact, it wasn't my legs today, I just felt extremely winded. Guess that's because I haven't done any sort of speedwork in ages... perhaps that will settle down a bit as we go on. I could keep my breathing under control, but it took effort to do it... First 800 was 4:11:48.. only 5 seconds off goal.
First 400, 1:52:18.. YES!
First 800 was 4:11:48.. Fine with that...
2nd 400 1:59 good! Still under 2:03
2nd 800 4:23.. slower but I was getting tired...
3rd 400 2:08.. again very close so I was fine w/ it.
Did a short cool down run w/ everyone then needed to head back to work.
I'm happy w/ today given it's only my second track workout..
