Only yesterday did I stop feeling sore from last Monday's workout. Man. My legs were absolutely shot. I'm guessing it had to be doing the hard sprints beforehand. Yes, I hadn't free squatted in years, but my legs are pretty strong and 135 lbs is a light weight. Regardless, I was more sore than they've been in years. I had pain going up/down stairs. Even walking around. It was crazy. I'm actually interested in pairing weights after sprints now, haha, but in a smart way. It's incredibly effective at getting my very sore, which is hard to do.
Anyway, I worked a ton on Wednesday and Thursday and was unable to workout at all. So, I did Wednesday's workout yesterday - Saturday - and Thurday's workout today with Laura at Roosevelt. Here's what we did.
Rest: 5 minutes
Format: rep - distance - target time (s) - actual time (s)
1 - 400m* - sub-60 - 57.6
2 - 300m* - 41 - 41.1
3 - 200m* - 26 - 27.3
*for each of these reps, we ran an additional 100m with everything we had left after crossing the finish line.

I was happy with all these times except for the 200m. I really wanted to get 26 or below. I liked that 57, though, and I'm confident I can get a faster time than the 56 I ran in training last year. Laura did well as well, running the 400m in 85 seconds, the 300m in 65 seconds, and the 200m in 37 seconds. I gave her head starts and we generally came through the finish within a few seconds of each other. I'm sure having her there helped me run faster, so a shout out to her for joining me.
I hope I can stick to my schedule this week. I may be traveling next week, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
