Track Workout

Time: 79:32
Distance: 12 miles

I woke up to see that it was sunny and cold. The wind wasn't too much of a factor, but since there was no cloud cover the temperature was about 25 degrees. I warmed up 25:06 to the track with my flats in hand. I didn't really stretch out that much or do any strides or drills. Too cold and I wanted to get things started. Tom wanted me running a strength oriented workout.

Target: 2 sets of 10 x 300/100. The 300s in 49 seconds, quick jog on the 100.
Set #1Splits: 49.59, (30.3), 50.53, (30.7), 50.19, (30.8), 49.69, (31.3), 50.14, (31.8), 50.19, (31.0), 50.14, (30.7), 40.46, (30.7), 50.37, (30.6), 50.12, (31.8).
Rested 5:30 and moved the workout indoors.
Set #2 Splits: 47.49, (38.0), 49.63, (34.4), 50.11, (35.1), 49.58, (37.0), 49.06, (38.3), 49.88, (37.3), 49.87, (37.6), 50.25, (38.3), 49.68, (37.8), 47.26, (27.1) for 33:14 total and roughly 5.5 miles

I started the workout on the outdoor track and was struggling to relax. It was too cold to be moving fluidly. Plus I was wearing tights and a jacket. Once I moved inside for the second set I was able to get into a rhythm a bit more. I ran the first 200m in lane 4 and then cut into lane 1 for the last 100m. So instead of jogging 100m it was more like 115m to 120m which is why the rest is a bit more. The OU indoor track sucks for working out... and in general. Overall it was a solid workout.

C/d back to the Lodge in 21:12. Hurried off to work.
