Week 18 - Day 6

I went to Cardozo on Saturday for some full speed work. I went out a little harder than I'd anticipated the night before, so I struggled to get to the track in time to do the full workout prior to my 2pm spring league game. It was also hot out. I warmed up well and then got into the workout.

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

1 - 100m - full speed - 11.5
2 - 200m - full speed - 24.7
3 - 300m - full speed - ~39.5
-----

My workout called for another 200m and 100m, but due to heat/ultimate game, I decided to end after the 300. I was happy with my 100m time, which is a personal best. I was pretty upset about my 200m time, though, and I didn't get an accurate time on my 300m because I stopped my watch on the wrong line; it wasn't a particularly fast time, though.

I was annoyed with my 200m time because I ran in the high 23s/low 24s last year in a full-speed workout just a few days before my race; I wanted to get mid 23s this time around. Anyway, I have one more full-speed workout on Thursday before my Sunday race. On the slate: full-speed 100s. I'm going to visualize/focus in the days leading up to this last workout so I can get the most out of it.
