Started with a warm up through Stewart Park then back to the track for the workout. had to do it alone, but when I was doing the workout doing it alone wasn't a problem at all. The workout was 4x4x200 with recovery between reps of 100 walk/jog, and 3-5 mins of jogging in between sets. The goal was 32-33 for the first set and to go about a second or so faster each next set. I started off pretty smooth, hitting all my times right on. The next set was a little more inconsistent but the average time was about right. I really focused on the next set pushing a little more than normal because the third quarter is what you have to work in the race and what you do in workouts carries on to your races. Weishaar told me that I shouldn't go much faster than the times I hit on the third set for the last one, I shouldn't be really killing myself. So the last set I sort of just progressed down and held myself back a little at the end. I wasn't out of breath after the workout, but on the cooldown, it caught up to me a little. I liked this workout a lot, I've always been a fan of repeat 200's, they just feel good to me. I told Weishaar that the biggest difference for me this past workouts is the mentality. Over the winter for some reason during workouts, I would sort of be looking way ahead in the workout and sort of thinking about how much more I had to do and I was almost afraid of pushing myself. Now during these past few workouts, I'm thinking, how much more can I push this next one, only thinking about one rep at a time. I'm getting back to myself again, and this mentality will translate in my races. Good day in the office.
