Two notes and a workout
Blog

Note to self: two Clif shots, each of 100 calories each, do not replace a full lunch on track workout days.
Second note to self: one should clue in that if said one tries to put her sports bra on backwards, perhaps a nap would be better than a track workout.
With that said, what was I thinking? "I'm happy my fitness is coming back." Must have been the Snack of Champions™.
Today's track workout kicked my ass. It consisted of:
ladders | The usual 12 different ladders |
5-10-5 | Working mostly on form, start at a center cone, sprint 5 yards to the next cone, turn sprint back 10 yards, turn then sprint back 5 yards to the beginning cone |
single leg bounding | going for maximum distance, 5 with left leg then 5 with right leg |
ice skaters x20 | (as quick and explosively as you can) |
sprints | 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 400m, 200m, 100m, 50m (catch your breath after running a sprint, then do the next one, i.e. go at your own pace but run hard when you are running) |
sideways shuffle | x20 |
two leg bounding | go for maximum distance, 10 jumps |
rest 5 minutes | |
repeat | go back to the single leg bounding and do it all a second time |
mile jog | |
abs | |
lunges | 10 lunges, 10 lunge jumps, 10 lunges; repeat |
I was nothing if not consistent in the 200s. I ran 45-46 second 200s every time. Which is such a blow to the confidence. I could run them in 26 in college. Sigh. My 400 times were 1:46, which also sucks big time. Of course, when I ran the 64 second 400, I had to do it only once.
My hamstring is hurting again, too. I really need to let that thing heal already.
Sigh.
