Friday the 13th TT800/400 9/13

Did a bit of a time trial today. Wasn't sure what was going to happen. Thought I might do a mile, but wasn't 100%. Did an 800 jogged an 800 then a 400. Did a J-Hill loop. Wasn't exactly happy with either time, but it's been a long week.

1600 TT 7/6

Another TT. Hoping to break my PR from my last TT. Looked at the stats from last time and hit my times from pretty much the last time. Did three miles with the family to warm-up. Then did a half  mile barefoot with some strides. Mile cool-down. Felt okay. Really got to get my first lap under control. HR was at 176 on finish.

4x1600@T 6x200@R 2 Mile Accl. 5/18

Started the workout with a 1600 time trial. Wasn't sure if I could break 5:00 but was really hoping to. Went out in 68, 2:23, 3:37, 4:52. Almost quit at 400 because it was too fast but stuck it out. Pretty stoked about it. Took about a ten minute break and did an 800 in 4:17. Then did the rest of my workout. 200s were quick, though the acceleration run was junk. Too much too slow. Definitely won't be doing another in the future.

Sub-5 5/18

A wise man once said: "Breaking five in the mile is like getting to first base on prom night."

For a while now I've been wanting to run a mile time trial, but haven't got the balls or the courage to do it. Tried once in Georgia, but gave up at the 3/4 mark for some reason I've forgotten.

Ate dinner later than normal, and it was warmer than normal, but there wasn't any wind to speak of, and I'd been telling myself I was going to do it for a while so I did it. I can't pace worth a damn anymore. Went out the first 200 in 33, and the first 400 in 68 - a little fast. Faster than I wanted and it was there I almost quit. Did the next and ran a 2:23 800, the 1000 was 3:00 and the 1200 was 3:37. Pushed the last lap, but probably could have pushed harder. Finished in a 4:52. Pretty stoked about that.

68 - 400
75 - 2:23 - 800
74 - 3:37 - 1200
75 - 4:52 - 1600
