Week 14 - Day 3

I went out to Washington Lee today after work. The weather was phenomenal. I misread the workout and did 30m with a flying start and not 40m. Oh well. For the flying starts, I marked off 15m from the starting line and 45m from the starting line. For the reps, I accelerated as fast as I could to get as close to full speed as possible by the 15m mark and then maintained that through the 45m mark. This was full effort.

Rest: 3 minutes
Format: rep - distance - target time (s) - actual time (s)

1 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
2 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
3 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
4 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
5 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
6 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
7 - 30m flying start - NA - NA
8 - 30m flying start - NA - NA

Despite the short distance and the only moderate number of reps, I felt this workout. I could feel the impact afterwards; it's not soreness...it's more like what I feel after a plyo workout. Back in high school and college, I would finish a workout like this and would feel like I'd wasted my time; I wouldn't feel anything. Now I definitely do. Perhaps it's an advantage of being in my late 20s...you know, some muscular development to offset the mental degradation that starts around this age. Good times.
