Speed workout February 22, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentI was a bit disappointed after school because yesterday, we were told that we could go home earlier but we ended up staying at school. I did have a short run in the morning and a swim in the afternoon which were both pretty good. BUT the point is, we finished cleaning up our classroom and helped other places and still finished like 1hr30min early and so we all went back to our classroom waiting for the teacher to come back. Ended up waiting for the whole 1hr30min and were dismissed at the usual time. No time for the brick workout because I got home a little past 5pm.
Morning run: I went for 4km, planned to go 6 but I was worried about the time, it's my first morning run on a school day after all. 1st-11:56, 2nd-11:53. Slow LSD pace jog and it felt pretty good other than the humidity. I was suprised by today's high, 26C, summer's starting… Focused on form, keeping my back straight.
Swim: 200m warm up, 150m(kick, pull, swim)*6(3:00), 50m*8(2:30) at best average time, I renewed my best average by 0.3sec. Some of the other swimmers had to swim extra because they weren't able to keep their best average time. If they're late by 0.1sec, they were told to swim an extra 50m, 0.2sec=50m*2 and so on. 100m cool down. I was totally out of breath after the 7th one which took me 47sec, oops!!!
Tomorrow: Either run in the morning or do some muscle training instead. When I come back from school I'll get ready for my first run to the other pool. Total of 20km, this way, I'm gonna have to force myself to run. It's gonna be a battle against time.
