After a two week absence it felt good to back at my beloved Franklin Field again this evening,it also has to be said after the day I had it felt good to be on any track cos frankly if in the words of John Lydon"anger is an energy"I had generated enough anger and energy this week at work to put PECO out of business,I strongly hope a three day weekend will do wonders to dampen the raging fury that,s been burning w/in my tiny but volatile and explosive frame this week because quite honestly I don,t fancy my chances of leaving there one day next week w/out a police escort and for what it,s worth orange is not my colour and I,m not wearing a jumpsuit for the next 10 to 15 years doing some roadside detail on a chain gang as my debt to society for murder.....yeah I went there!
Moving on, I felt it best this evening to parlay my angst and anger into my repeat session,I believe it was the great Carl Lewis who once said and I quote"I just wanted to leave it all out there on the track"words to live by.
Following my stretches and mile warm up and mile of strides it was into my first 1,000m last time out{May 1st}I went 2.56/2.51,I was aiming for splits of 1.10,1.10,33 for a 2.53 what I got was 68,1.11,33 for 2.52.83.
Following my 12 minute recovery I was back at it again,I was surprized to clock 1.10 at 400m,I thought I,d gone out a shade too conservative but clocking a 1.10 obviously I hadn,t.2.25 at 800m a 1.15 split,I would,ve prefered faster but knowing I was behind I dug deep and crushed the closing 200m in 31 seconds,I was hauling off the final turn and down the back straight,2.56.95
My progression over the past seven weeks at this repeat has been 2.57/2.55,2.56/2.51,2.53/2.56 and given that my rotation next week is slated for Tuedsay/Thursday w/ a meet on Saturday I think it,s safe to say next Thursday will be another 2x1,000m repeat.
