HELLS FREAKIN YA!!!!! Finally had a good workout. I've been here over 20 days and nothin has seemed to click. I was having to modify workouts, my jogs felt shitty........ but not anymore...or not for these workouts. I'll be honest, not only was I getting dominated in workouts, but I had to get shit within the workout modified/changed. It sucked. mentally and physically I was frustrated.
Tuesday was the next workout. The workout was 300 (3min) 200 (2min) 100, 10min 200 (2min) 100 (2min) 100 (2min). Everything was suppose to be fast. Up to this point all I've done is 30 second 200s (i.e. slow and steady). As I step on to the line for the workout, one thing crosses my mind...."F*ck it. Let's roll". I wanted to run fast, that was it. I finish the workout 36.8, 24.6, 12.4 24.3, 12.3, 12.0. HELLS FREAKIN YA!!!
Second workout was on Thursday - 7x 3min surges with 2min recovery on a trail. So basically 7x1000m. 3min surges is all about going to another place in the mind for as long as possible. That's the trick. Focus on a point on a loop and just stay with it. I rocked out well. Splits were anywhere from 4:50-5:10/mile pace. I'm pretty pumped with this workout because I've never done this many repeat 1kms in a workout. \
So that's two workouts down with one to go. WTF though. I've been in the fetal position in any time from not running. Everything hurts!! Hamstrings, quads, back, hips,.....face. EVERYTHING!!! Want to know how to hurt...Run balls to the walls in a workout when you've done nothing but 5-10km training. But it feels good. This kind of pain feels real good!!!
