Today had me down for 14 x 400 @ 90 seconds. I went to Lindbergh to (hopefully) hit the track on a beautiful Wednesday evening. It was sunny and about 78 with a wind out of the north at about 10 mph.
There was a lacrosse game on the field at 7:30pm, and the teams were there early to warm up. The Lindbergh staff said we shouldn't be on the track, but I really wanted to get out there, so I adopted the old "easier to apologize than ask for permission" attitude.
While doing a lap in 90 seconds is difficult, I couldn't help thinking how much easier it was this night versus a month ago doing the same workout. In last month's set of eight repeats, I could barely catch my breath between sets and needed a full lap to recover. Tonight's fourteen repeats just needed a 200 yard recovery and I felt tired but ready for the next one.
Here are the splits:
1 - 1:30.50
2 - 1:29.14
3 - 1:29.12
4 - 1:29.99
5 - 1:28.56
6 - 1:28.20
7 - 1:29.06
8 - 1:29.20
9 - 1:31.44 (think I lost focus a bit here)
10 - 1:28.14
11 - 1:28.03
12 - 1:27.44
13 - 1:28.57
14 - 1:25.09 (didn't leave anything on the track on the last one!)
Then went to the Spur and had a wonderful turkey burger with fries :)
