So far it’s been a good week of training. I left off on Wednesday. On Thursday I did the same 7.5 mile run as I did Tuesday. I was a minute faster and finished in 1:06. I did 2.25 miles of the run again with my grandson; we kept his pace a bit more relaxed this time. On Friday I did a core session followed by a swim.
This morning I went to track at Holmdel HS. It was very windy and cold. I scrapped my planned workout and adjusted my workout to the conditions. I did my usual warm-up, strides and drills with my grandson and a few other athletes who braved the cold. I then did a continuous workout of 12x 200 meters with 55-60 second jog across the field recoveries. My splits ranged from 49 seconds to 43 seconds as I progressed through the workout. After my last 200 meters I again jogged across the field in 55 seconds and then did 800 meters in 3:22. I felt like I got in a very good workout despite the poor conditions. This was a good workout to do as I moved faster as I warmed up. It gave me some good speed work with low risk to my hamstring; which felt fine. Long run tomorrow; going to be a cold one.
Just rolling along……
