We started this week with Speed Training, and I met a large group at the middle school for 400m repeats (ten of them) on the track. With this being only the third speed session, and only the start of the third week of training, the rate at which improvement comes amazes me. Simply to compare the splits listed below to those from two weeks ago, does not tell the whole story. Yes, today’s times are about one or two seconds faster than the earlier one, but the fun part is that I am not nearly as wiped out now even though they were faster and there were ten of them this week (as opposed to eight).
So here are the results (targeted maximum per lap was 1:30):
- 1:22
- 1:24
- 1:23
- 1:23
- 1:23
- 1:23
- 1:22
- 1:23
- 1:22
- 1:19
The last one was nowhere near Tommie’s 1:13!
