alright, after a brief break from sprinting, doing nothing more than farklets and tempo work in cross country, I am back to doing a sprint workout. Tonight was my first night. To review: I am a 15 year old sophomore sprinter, PBs of 11.72, 24.20, and 53.84. I want to qualify for state in all the sprints, and place in the 400. We also expect to get 1st or 2nd in the 4x100 (team goal 43.5) and place in the 4x400 (3:32). I am running cross country right now, mostly for fun, and doing my other workouts after CC, or before, depending on what time CC practice is. I am not going to mention the long runs that CC practice requires before these workouts as I don’t see them as important or beneficial. Another note: I am currently recovering from a bone graft surgery and am in a cast. I am cleared to run though, and it doesn’t affect my technique much.
Alright. my first workout of the new GPP. Since I am in decent shape already, I kind of jumped into a tougher intensive tempo workout. 2 sets of 5, 80m at 80ish%, 30 second recovery in between reps, 5 minutes in between sets. Felt really good, very relaxed, and I felt very tall. Went very mildy lactic on the last rep of the first set, and was pretty lactic at the end of the last rep in the 2nd set. After that I took a contrast shower.
