Today I ran faster then I have ever run before. It was a rainy cold day insinuating that we should count this lucky because of what was around the corner; winter. Getting to the track in the dark, there was already a lot of perseverance mustering just delivering our asses to the workout. However, once there it was 100% game time. The warm up was text-book with 15 minutes of easy running followed by some dynamic stretches finishing with three short quick strides but wearing a rain weather running jacket that eventually was soaked by the consistent precipitation of moderate intensity.
Hopping into the van, we strip off the wet tops and take a few minutes to put on spikes and rest before we start the actual work. By the time we get out of the van to start a quick jog to where we will begin our sprints, a good 35-40 minutes has already passed since our arrival. Choosing to use the wind to our advantage we jog further down the track to start our run into the flying 60 meter sprints about where the 100meter race does. Hand rises from side scooping gravity with giant tugs. Oblique’s swing quad down, fully driving foot off of the surface, leaping forward half the body steps the other half pushes. It was like I was flying.
