Raleigh Relays and Workouts 3/29 and 3/31

After a good couple weeks of taking a step back from speed training and doing some strength stuff. The running in these weeks has been very loosely structured. Anyways, I opened up my last collegiate season with an outdoor PR. I ran 1:51.72 to better my PR by a tenth of a second. The race played out a little differently than how I pictured it. The original plan was to get out and get into the front of the pack, instead I was dead last. However I was able to close real well and pick up fourth. I ran into a little trouble around 600m and had to slow down but overall I was very pleased with the outcome. My Splits were 27.4, 28.2, 27.6, 27.5.

3/29
Drummer Hill
2xMile 5:45, 6:08 (fell apart)

2x400 (Baker Street) 60, 81

Overall a solid workout except the second MILE was 15 seconds slow. 2 MILE warm up and 2 Mile cool down. Back at the gym I did 12 sets of stairs and 3 sets of jump rope.

3/31
Track Workout
3x400 72, 68, 69

MILE 4:45
2x800 2:15, 2:16

Great Workout! Did it solo. Got in a little speed in at the end and running 26 felt hard but I wasn't sure if I would be able to hit that, glad I did. 2 Mile warm up and 2 Mile cool down.

My next race Is at Fitchburg where I will be running a fast 1500 followed by 400, 200 and a 4x400. Lets Hope it goes well.
