Workout # 2 ~~~ Track

Back to the soccer field for today's session.  The grounds were wet and spongy after yesterday afternoon's storms; uneven on one side in particular and the grass needs cutting.  Nevertheless, on with the show in bare feet!

Program :

10-20 min warm-up
2 x 1600m in 9:48/6:07mk
1 x 800m in 4:46/5:57mk
400m RI
10 min cool-down.

Highlands School soccer field.


So easy to guess wrong.  I thought the 800m would be a breeze;  not so!  It was the hardest of the 3 repeats.

2km warm-up
2 drills with strides

2x1600m.....9:25/5:53mk;     9:30/5:57mk.

1x800m.......4:39/5:50mk.

1km cool-down 
Stretches.

All repeats were good time wise but after 800m I was all done!  I didn't expect a session of just 3 repeats to be such hard work.  However, I stayed ahead of VP and set the two distances by stopping after each repeat when I felt the vibration alert on my wrist.  Neat!

For today ....  6.2km

  1. That's great running - especially when you consider how hard it is running on soft grass - even barefoot!
