I hope that Greg plays the piano today in the competition just as well as my track workout went. Despite sore muscles from Sunday's power hike/trail run (quads, abductors) and yesterday's weight training (obliques, chest), I was fast. The fastest yet this year in a track workout. Actually, come to think of it, this may be the fastest set of 800s I've ever done. I'd have to look to be sure.
I warmed up with 1600m in 10:14 with some accelerations thrown in. Then I did my usual dynamic flexibility drills. Then I got started.
Workout: 5x800/200 with 30s rest between 800 & 200 and 3' rest before the next set.
Weather: GORGEOUS! Sunny, 58F, slight breeze. Absolutely lovely.
The first three 800s felt pretty good; I was working hard but not dying. The fourth one was very hard, and the last, well...I was tired, and I slowed down. I really tried not to, but I didn't have anything left. Still, I'm very happy with the workout.
