Everyone met at the intramural fields with spikes for a surprise workout! And it was 25x400 with 30 seconds rest. On grass. Oh joy. I got to run 3 and rest 1 for the workout. We started in our trainers running 90's and I was already breathing heavy. I did 5 at 90 then we ran 85's for the rest. After I did 8, we got to change into spikes which made a big difference. My goal was to run at least 12. I felt ok and started into another set of 3. At 13, I felt awful and was positive I was done at 15. But on 15, my legs felt better so I decided to do 18. After 18, I knew I was done.
Although I didn't do all 25, the way I did the workout was great for me. Sets of 3 was easier to breakdown and focus on than the whole 25. This is the closest I have gotten to a full interval workout this whole season. I am slower than before and what I would like to be, but I have definitely improved, specifically mentally.
