Another solid workout in the books. Workout was repeat 300s at different paces 4x 3x300 at tempo, 5k, then 3k/3200 pace. Overall we were pretty consistent with our pacing I took to the front because I know I need to work on leading races and getting my pages down. I gotta get it through my head that leading in a race and in a workout are not much different. Anyways the last 2 sets the first 300 was a little quick but besides that we were pretty much on pace. The last 300s of each set felt the best to me. But overall these felt good. Never felt like I was strained to do these or was breathing too hard. I could've done more sets of need be but this was sufficient for today. Neil's getting back into better shape which is good. Meanwhile Ian is running with 2 right shoes and Silas is tripping and face planting on the track so all seems pretty normal to me. Hunter made his first appearance back and didn't seem that bad he did most of the sets which is a great start and still has like 2 months before race season which is good. His incentive to go hard this season isn't there but who knows it might come. I still have that little thing in my back but I try to push it out of my mind. And my back does feel stuff but that was because I was messing around with it all day I just gotta let it be. I've been studying and getting into some of jack Daniels training stuff mostly just VO2 max and is effect on you and how your training should be adjusted to it. Also the fast and slow twitch muscles and how you can adjust and train those accordingly. It's all pretty interesting because it's like a science but has to do with yourself getting better at running. I'm gonna really start focusing on keeping my easy runs slower than 7 min pace from now on. While doing workout paces at .9 VO2 max. Hopefully this will allow my fast twitch type IIb fibers which are glycolytic to convert to fast twitch type IIa fibers which oxidative or use oxygen to produce energy while are able to fight off fatigue for longer. All this stuff probably seems complicated but it seems cool to me. And I wanna try some of it out. Also lately the paces I've been setting for myself in workouts have been goal pace level. I really have to train at the levels in at now and that pace. I will get to my goal pace level in time. Off day tomorrow and then progressive run and double on Saturday. Oh also added on 2 extra laps around the track when everyone was gone just working on form for a little bit. And had to put the Ins and outs at the bottom. My whole log is a little messed up so the first three 300s were 1:00 :57 :53 the. :57 was deleted and I can't undo it.
