Current Condition:
Since I only ran one race last night I was feeling pretty good today. My right glute was tight, but it went away in the warmup.

Warmup:
Some RW drills

Workout:
Tempo Runs
4 x 200M @ easy pace, 120 sec. rest
Times of: 30.0, 32.7, 32.4, 34.7

Cooldown:
Some RW exercises

Notes:
Well, my second tempo session ever went about as planned. I wanted to do 5 reps for an equal kilometer, but my lungs got the better of me.

Each lap was just an attempt to get the right pace down and I think I did okay. I know they’re all supposed to be the same speed, but I’m not used to running under 95% so pacing is hard.

Anyways, as embarassing as it is to admit, the workout was challenging. 8 more weeks of this crap should help me out though. Before the season is over I’d like to be able to hit 5 of these runs in under 30 seconds without being ready to hack up a lung.
