Today's Work

Starting off the new week. Got with the cross-country guys this morning. A little background though. Due to NAIA rules, we can only officially work-out so many weeks in the year, so practice right now isn't mandatory and guys who run by themselves think they push themselves hard enough so they don't have to get up early. This morning, one of those guys showed up. So we wen't on a rolling trail run, and the trail absolutely rocked him. So we went for 70 minutes, but the pace was really slow. So this evening, at the pool, I thought something fast and hard - for me -  would be appropriate so the day wasn't a waste. After a 10 minute warm-up, I chose to 6X200m. at a three-minute pace with a minute rest inbetween. So, it really was like 3 min "on" 1 min "off." I kept the 45 sec. lap pace with the last two sets being really tough to hold. Oh, and I took a three-minute break after set 3 instead of 1 minute. It was tough, for me, and I was beat afterwards during my 5 minute cool down. Good day.
