South Tahoe MS Track Tempo 2x8

June 25, 2013 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 60, humid/rainy

Comments:
Matt, BGD and I went to do a tempo run. Tried the HS first, but there was no track there. BGD found one at the MS, so we drove there.

Did a longer warm-up: >:20 along some random singletrack, briefly through a neighborhood, then onto a golf course/disc golf area, then back. Felt pretty good.

Did a bunch of drills and strides on the infield, then did the tempo. The weather was on and off: barely any rain to pretty damn hard (small misty drops).

Matt recorded BGD and I on the first 800m: 1:24 (led by BGD), 1:21 (me) for a pretty smooth 2:45. BGD was ass-dragging on the 2nd 400m, so I gave him a little "Central Governor Pep Talk".

3:00 rest, then all three of us ran. I got us out in 1:21, then BGD went around and led a spirited 2nd lap, with Matt hanging on pretty damn good! The altitude felt funny - I felt it more in my arms than anything! Hit the lap in 1:14 (maybe 1:13!) for a 2:34 800m. Felt AWESOME!

R calf was a little "tight", but I was really sure to push from the hip and stay away from toe running.

Did 800m cooldown, then headed home.

Did a STEAM after some strength.
