Basic 200's

Objective : 8 x 200 @ 35ish

Recovery : 200 jog recovery

Keenyans : Me, Greg, Andy, Boj, Jen, James, and Ockel

Result :

36 / 34 / 32 / 34 / 33 / 33 / 33 / 33

Overview : I was pretty tired from the preceding 4 or 5 days. I wanted to move and try to stay fresh. We did a 5 mile warmup and then got into the 200's. They went well and I think it was the right call considering Sunday's race coming up. After we got hit hard in the rain on our cool down. It was kind of cool. I am going to seas up the rest of the week and hopefully run well this weekend.

Clarence DeMar Tempo

Objective : Start easy and build into a comfortably hard pace

Recovery : 3 miles w/ Dad on the track

Result :

5:41 / 5:29 / 5:01 / 5:07 / 5:07 / 5:04 / 5:08 / 4:57

Overview : I love doing this workout. It can be done a lot of different ways. The first part of the course is basically gradually down hill, so you can turn it over. There are a couple of bumps but they can be fun to attack. I have a history of ruining this run by going to hard. I get excited and can't help myself. That is why I committed to no warmup and used the first part to deliberately go easier. I sort of accomplished that this time but still went a little too fast. I wanted to go farther at 5:15 pace but again, I have too much fun running by the seat of my half splits. I felt things falling apart at mile seven and decided to stop at eight and give it a final push. I hope to get some comrades out for this to keep it more formal (Josh). Anyway I think it was successful and look forward to the next one.

1 x Mile 7 x 400

Objective : 5 x mile (I revised it after one because I was flat and it was hot)

Recovery : 400 after mile and 200 after the quarters

Keenyans : Me, Greg, Andy, James, Brad, Boj, Jen, and Okel

Result :

4:43 / 70 / 69 / 64 / 62 / 69 / 67 / 66

Overview : I didn't feel very fresh during the warmup but wanted to try the miles. Sometimes my legs lie to me but not today. After the first mile I decided to finish up with some quarters. Everyone did a different workout today which was kind of fun. Andy, Greg, and I synched up for the last three quarters and ran together. I have gotten some confidence back after a good 4 mile race this past Monday. I am in full training mode and it is awesome. I hope to be feeling fast by Saturday so I can do a long tempo in Gilsum.
