Track on Tuesdays

August 23rd, 2006 · 3 Comments

I’m noting this on Wednesday, but I occasionally get to the Kezar Stadium track on Tuesday mornings, if my friend Billy provides external motivation. Yesterday, 3×1200m and then 3×1000m. Felt good as I ran the first five at a very controlled pace with the group, so I went after the last one with the intention of negative splitting each 200m. I came pretty close, which left me satisfied.

3:32 for the full 1000m, for an average of 42.41 per 200m

45.29 = first 200m
42.97 = second 200m
43.01 = third 200m
41.01 = fourth 200m
39.79 = fifth 200m

The “precision” of hundredths of a second is false, of course, but it’s what I have, and it is directional. I’m not very consistent about recording my workouts, but I’ll be curious to see what I think of this workout’s final piece in a year’s time. Or five.
