200’s

10/26/11

It was our first workout of this kind in a long time. The last time we ran this intensity was this past winter. This made it certainly a ‘feeling out’ day. The all out sprinting base we have laid over the last 10 weeks or so is going to start a journey towards endurance. This starts today was embark on three reps of 200meter sprints. The workout is administered as last 200 all out, the second to last holding back just a little bit, and the first as a 95% intensity. This type of workout will start the process towards speed endurance as we aim to race the 400 for the majority of the indoor season and just at the end taper out to the 800 and possibly a couple of 1500’s. It is funny, for so long we mastered a different intensity, a sort of relaxed assault of fluidity that was at the same time aggressive. Today it almost felt disconnected and this was to be expected. There is always the weeks of adjustment but then comes the weeks of achievement.
