The missing piece to the puzzle lately has been my speed workouts. I've had some so-so track workouts in the past couple weeks. All a reminder that speed doesn't come back instantly.
Last night, however, was a pretty solid workout. Dubbed as a Crazy Ladder... and one to be repeated in a few weeks:
4mi warm up
1200 @ 86s
800@ 79, 80
400 @ 77
1600 @ 81-82s
1200 @ 80-82s
800 @ 79, 81
400 @ 71
90 rests
2mi cool down
The goal was to ease into the speed with the first 1200, get some fast endurance with the mile and second 1200, and add turnover with the 400s. Nothing ridiculously fast, but just a strong workout. It was definitely taxing, but ultimately I felt much more comfortable this week versus last week. I'm finally starting to see some gains.
