After two pretty crappy recovery days on Monday and Tuesday, I reluctantly headed to the Landon track at 7:30 on Wednesday morning (which is finally cleared!). I was pretty tired, probably due to a big last two weeks running-wise and my lack of sleep early this week. Nonetheless, I thought that just maybe doing something fast would snap me out of my slump.
The workout went very well. This was my second to last untimed leg prep workout, consisting of 5 x 200 (100 jog), 5 x 300 (200 jog), 3 x 400 (200 jog), 2 x 150 (250 jog), 5 x 200 (100 jog). After dragging a bit on the first set, I changed into flats and really opened up and felt good the rest of the workout, especially the 150s. The last set of easier 200s felt amazing, my stride was perfectly in sync and I felt like I was just floating effortlessly along the track.
These workouts that I like to think of as "glorified strides" always seem to freshen my legs and remind me how to run fast again. With my legs clearly ready to run fast, I'm looking forward to starting some interval workouts in the next couple weeks!
