Last night’s track workout was delayed due to a band of storms that moved through the Nashville area between 5:00 and 6:00pm. For a while I thought there was no way we were going to get the workout in, but by 10 minutes after 6pm we were on the track warming up.
It turned out to be a perfect night after the storm with a beautiful sunset and even a rainbow in the distance. The workout consisted of three sets of intervals:
Set 1
- 800m (200m)
- 400m (200m)
- 3 x 200m (100m) [400m]
Set 2
- 800m (200m)
- 400m (200m)
- 3 x 200m (100m) [400m]
Set 3
- 600m (200m)
- 3-Laps of Straights and Curves
With warmup and cooldown the workout came out to just under 7-miles for the night. I took it fairly easy since I’m still less than 2-weeks removed from the NOLA Marathon, but generally felt pretty good all evening. I can tell that my legs are still a bit fatigued, but this really only manifests itself when I try to push the pace. I did feel a bit of tightness in my calves tonight after my 6.5-mile Hattori run the morning before. However, I think this is more soreness than strain or injury.
Overall, it was a good night at the track! Beast Mode…ON!
