Basic 200's

Objective : 6 x 200

Recovery : 200 jog recovery

Keenyans : Me and my dog Bailey

Result :

27 / 28 / 28 / 28 /28 / 27

Overview : I was not motivated at all! I think that the Thanksgiving food binge has had something to do with it. I feel so lethargic. So needless to say I had to really battle my demons today to even log any miles. But today, I beat them. Bailey and I hit up the Bellows Falls High Track and got in a quick warm up and got right into it. I am glad I got out there and moved around. Afterwards we headed out to Josh's house and met George Adams, Goupil, and Josh. We had a great run and it was my first this year with some snow fall. It was a good crisp day and a quality run.

3 x 800 / 400

Objective : 3 x 800 / 400

Recovery : 200 jog in between efforts (continuous flow)

Keenyans : Me and Mark

Result :

2:20 / 69 / 2:19 / 68 / 2:18 / 66

Overview : Mark and I got right on it. It was a good short workout. I didn't want to go crazy because I am racing Thursday and Mark still has some lingering fatigue from his race this past weekend. I liked the short recovery. It really puts things into perspective.

4 x 1000 Meters

Objective : 5 x 1000 m

Recovery : 400 jog in 2 minutes

Keenyans : Me, Greg, Andy, James, Boj, Goup, Clint, Glenn, Mark

Result :

2:53 / 2:49 / 2:49 / 2:49

Overview : I showed up a little late due to work stuff. Andy and Clint did as well, so we rushed a 3ish mile warm up and met the other guys on the track. I wanted to do 5 x 1000 but was running out of daylight and the track vibe was lack luster. Basically I wimped out. Everyone seemed to have an off day though. Hey, it happens. I am still pleased with the effort. We went to Armadillos afterwards and "actually" had a good time.

3 x 800 / 2 x 400

Objective : 4 x 800 @ 2:06 (high goal for me). Broke down the last effort.

Recovery : 400 jog in between 8's and 200 jog in between 4's

Keenyans : Me, Andy, Greg, Brent, James, Brad, Clint, Mark

Result :

2:06 / 2:07 / 2:09 / 66 sec / 61 sec

Overview : Getting used to this new approach is very exciting. I have never put in this type of work before and look forward to the results (good or bad) in the coming months. I don't mind not being able to finish a prescribed workout because I may be biting off more than I can chew right now. I will give myself enough time to adapt. Everybody else in the group seems to be changing gears and looking forward to the next season. We started back up with our Armadillos routine. Good times.
