Four Quarters Sometimes Make More Than A Buck

For only the third time this year I went after my newest of repeats,4x400m w/deminished recovery,on Jan 2nd I went:64.62,61.17,62.85,67.32,last week I went 71.11,71.10,73.44,75.10.
This evening was about making an improvement on last week,unlike last week I had sun,racing flats,and the inside lane of the track,these simple things would bode well.
As is my won,t I went out too hard on my opener,sure I wanted to open well but the target time on the first 400m is 70.00,I went 62.86!!!
My first reaction was"oh shite,too fast"that said I was thrilled to see my basic 400m speed was still ticking over almost three weeks after the Millrose Games.
90 seconds later I was back at it,64.69,predictably slower than my opener but that was to be expected,64.69 felt respectable.
75 seconds recovery and 400m#3,65.78,I may,ve knawlsed up the workout in respect of executing it to the letter of the law but dispite deminishing recovery I was running consistant 400s.
The final 400m is tough,60 second recovery,at 200m I felt the shadow of a Grand Piano falling but still managed to kick off the final turn and drive up the home straight,Cobbs Creek,Ichan Stadium,The Armory,dosen,t matter it,s all about getting to that finish line.....66.04.
Wow! I was impressed.....severely in oxygen debt but none the less impressed.
Yes I still need to harness the fundemantals of this particular workout,deminished splits and deminished recovery but I,m pleased w/ tonites effort,next week there,s talk of adding a 2,000m/2,400m after the 4x400m,let,s get through the rest of this week first but I,m already taking it on board.
