Life Sucks in the Metro East

200m in 0:27.54
400m in 1:08.76
200m in 0:29.88
100m in ? < 0:12.74

Unfortunately, I was timing for two people in the last 100m, and I don't know what my time was. It was under 0:12.74 though, I know that.

Also, it is very cold. 34 degrees outside. So running makes me want to throw up. I haven't pushed myself hard enough to actually puke yet, though. Maybe I will, later in the winter. I guess I have unconsciously decided that running a few sprints as fast as I can is better than running more sprints at an easier pace. I'm not sure if science would back me up, but I prefer busting my ass and then going home. It's like flambe-ing a marshmallow--set the damn thing on fire, let it char, blow off the flames and eat the damn thing. No need to sit there browning it for ten minutes.

  1. I think its a little too early to be doing sprints at an "all-out" pace, even if some of them are "longer" distances.
    If you want to minimize your outdoor exposure time, try something with more reps (eg x6 400s) at noticably less than 100% but with less rest between reps.
    remember to warm up properly/completely in this cold weather. And since you're running at less than 100% think about and visualize your running form (especially acceleration)
