A Waste of Time??

Text generator online

Raining as I reluctantly left for Chev Track this morning; nevertheless, I thought I'd give it a go; not for long though : the freezing rain turned to freezing snow flakes and then to ice particles!  The track, of course, was a bog again.  I really think it was a waste of  time as I only completed half  the program by which time I was so wet and so very cold, I could take no more!

Program:  10 - 20 min warm-up
10 x 400m @ 6:00m/k (i.e 2:24)
400m RI btw.
10 min cool-down.

Of this, in  rain, snow, wind & ice,  I did:
1 k warm-up + 2 strides
5 x 400m (with about 20 sec btw..too cold for any longer!)
No cool-down.

400m results: 2:27 (6:04m/k);  2:28 (6:00m/k);  2:24 (5:58m/k);  2:26 (6:03m/k);  2:26 (6:03m/k)

Tomorrow, I look forward to running in the warm pool!
