No use worrying about Sunday's time trial. After a nice day off yesterday (well, I did swim), it was time for another Rep workout today.
After my usual 2.5 mile warmup on the Creek Path, I showed up at the BHS track. This place is becoming a regular hangout for me. I think I've doubled my overall lifetime number of track workouts in the last three weeks, or nearly so.
This was a repeat of my rep workout two weeks ago. I did 3x (2x200 + 1x400).
I did adjust my R-pace, based on a new VDOT of 48-49. That means 200s should be run at 44 seconds and 400s at 89-90 seconds. Here are my splits:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
| 200m | 44.4 | 44.1 | 43.4 |
| 200m | 44.4 | 43.5 | 39.8 |
| 400m | 1:28.1 | 1:29.2 | 1:28.0 |
I guess I was pretty close to my target paces for each rep, although overall I did come in just a little fast on several. Actually the last 200 was a lot faster because I got carried away chasing down another guy at the track. Ha!
At just a couple seconds slower than my earlier rep pace, this still didn't feel that easy. On my last 400, I was slow at the 300m mark and had to really hoof it in to the finish. I'm feeling pretty good, though.
It always feels good after a workout.
