Tough workout today. I had to do it alone due to scheduling issues so I headed up to the Redmond High School and used their track. It's inferior in every way to our high schools track but it's oval and it's presumably 400m in length. Oh...and it's 5 minutes from work.
The workout was 6x1000m @ 3:00-3:02 with 3 minutes rest between each rep. I hit 3:04, 3:00, 3:01, 3:02, 3:02 3:03. After the fourth rep, I wanted to quit in a bad way. The only reason I didn't was I couldn't live with myself if I skipped a third of my workout.
After finishing the fifth rep, I was bound to quit. But then the phrase "leave it all on the track" kept entering my mind as I was doing the 3-minute rest jog. Then I thought about having to tell my coach I quit a rep early and then there's you guys. This accountability thing works.
Anyway, I wish I could have done the reps faster or at least felt slightly less tired afterward but oh well. I left it all on the track today. |
