It had been a while since I last conducted a repeat workout at the"Top Cat Bowl",the last one was April 2nd.
Thankfully yesterdays rain hadn't done too much of a number on the track,just as well since using Franklin Field is not an option this week....some sort of relays going on there this week....I hear they're a big deal............
Tonite's bill o fare,500m,400m,300m,150m,150m w/ target times of 80,60,43,19,18.5.
Following my mile warm up I made my required hash marks on the track b4 my repeats.
500m 82.03.just shy of what I wanted,I probably could've driven harder on the final 100m but I was trying to run these repeats as relaxed as I could,if I wasn't going to be BDA{balls dead accurate} I 'd rather be a second or two over and relaxed than a few seconds under and taxed.
400m 61.36.maybe if I could've ran the whole 400m on the rail and not in the middle of the track to avoid the puddles I could've ran a 60,as it was I was fairly close....but close only counts in horseshoes or so they say.
300m 41.20.The plan was to go 22 seconds over the first 150m and 21 seconds over the second 150m,sadly I was unable to get my 150m split but I'm guessing it was 20/21.
150m#1 20.91.150m#2 20.20. just a shade off on #1 and dispite being faster on#2 I was still slower than my target time.
As I said on Sunday Penn Relays is a different kind of event and my prep for it has to be different also,tonite was a classic example of that,as "Dib" was quick to remind me post workout"you're a miler running a 400m this Saturday"
