Friday 3/7/08 Track Workout

Reggie Lewis Center - 11.5 miles

warm up: 3 miles
Workout: 1200, 10 minutes tempo, 1200, 10 min tempo, 1200
Cooldown: 3 miles

From the start I was feeling real tight. The warm up was a bit faster than usual but it did nothing to losen up my legs. I did some stretching and drills before the actual workout to try to get my legs moving but I didn't help at all. My drill felt awful, I had no spring in my legs. The workout was two 10 minute tempo with three 1200m. The 10 min. tempo came to about 3000m each. The 1200m were run in 2:51 each. We kept a very even pace. During the first 1200m I was having a hard time keeping the pace Justin Maloney set and had to let him lead the whole thing. The first 10 min tempo we run it on the track and after the 1 mile a began to felt a bit better. By the end of the tempo I felt much better. I lead the 2nd 1200 and then lead almost the entire 2nd 10 mile tempo which we run on the outside of the track. The last 1200 was taken by Jake and by then I was starting to felt tire and legs felt a bit heavy but we were all able to run 3:51 again.
