#track workout

[dafitness4shawn]

Hey! On Thursday I did some intervals on the track. I ran 200m which I pretty proud of doing in the first place because they suck. Felt good though. I wanted to share the info that the Nike app gives me because I thought it looked cool. The eight peaks correlate to the eight sprints. Maybe I’ll make 200m the new minimum. We’ll see.

Have a good one!

Very humid, very warm track workout this morning! 8x400m at a hard pace (I ran mine at 8:55-9:10). I almost quit after 6 repeats because the sun hit full force and I was so hot, BUT I pushed through and finished (although I walked my recovery time instead of jogging) and I’m super proud of myself!

Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you have sunshine and warm weather and relaxing days ahead of you. 😊

Also trying to get some speed back into these little long distance legs. I signed up for my favourite ever road race again - it's a 3 miler on new years eve in my home town that I've been doing for years. I feel like it's finally time to beat my PR from 3 years ago! I can't believe it's been that long already. I probably could've done it last year but I had a cold so I didn't race it.

Anyway! It's a nice challenge, and I'm enjoying having some speed training back in my routine so far. Two weeks ago I was in Germany visiting my mum so I had access to an actual track *woooaaah* :'D did 4x400 with 2 mins walking rest just to get back into the concept of running faster. Then this week I did a little pyramid - 200m, 400m, 600m and back down with adjusted rest. I did them in the flattest park I have here, which of course still has hills because it's Sheffield lol. It was also POURING rain, we had actual flooding again that day.

I am beat. So this morning I woke up early for my track workout to avoid having a large gap in between my last class and the time I would be able to get onto the track. And while I am glad that I did, I am wiped the fuck out from waking up at 6am. Plus I didn’t even beat out some of the “rush” of people on the track. Even though online it says that varsity athletes have the track from 1pm-6pm every day, the entire cross country team was there working out when I showed up. A handful of other people were there doing their own thing but by the time I was done my warmup, the entire triathlon club was there to work out too, so this became stressful for me very quickly. And I was supposed to be doing 12 200s with a 2.5min break in between each but there was just so much crowding that I really didn’t have the luxury of doing the workout how I wanted to, so it turned into 200m sprint/200m jog for 10 laps, plus two laps warmup, two laps cool down, and some stretching. I made it home in plenty of time to get to my meeting at 10am, which I showed up to only to find out that our first weekly meeting isn’t until next week, so I had nowhere to be until 2pm. I made it work because I did have some stuff to do and I guess I did plenty of wandering around because 22k steps is no joke. I am shocked by how many steps I am getting in a day while living here in LA. It’s just so easy because I walk everywhere and even when I take the train I have to walk a half mile to the train from my apartment and then walk from the train to campus. Tomorrow morning’s run is short and sweet which is exactly what I need right now!!

my first track workout in... well... ever! it started slowly, good warmup time with a lot of plyometrics. i liked the easy pace and the care taken for first-timers. a lot of groups are much too macho for my taste; even if they're trying to be welcoming, there's a lot unconscious posturing and pushiness. this group was nothing like that, and i loved it. ***** distance: 3.4 miles total time: 33:39 speed: 9:39 terrain: track

3x1600m on the track today. Having Presidents’ Day off means I actually got to run when the sun was out on a weekday!
