Today was THE day- 25x400 workout. I woke up nervous to run it, almost felt like I was racing! But I was able to stay focused and be ready to go when it was time to start. We ran 25 400's with 30 seconds rest between and the last one all out. I ran with the 82-83 group- we ran the majority of the repeats at 82. I really had to focus on each moment and not get worried about the last all out or all the laps left to go. I worked really hard mentally today to stay focused and remember what TO do. I broke it down by each mile and just worked through those 4 laps which really helped. The workout always goes by super fast because we have such little recovery which is nice. The last one, it's been a looong time since I have run that fast. I have almost forgotten how. But I finished in 69 which was my goal to be under 70. It was a hard workout mentally and physically- my legs felt tired and dead for most of it. But I am happy I was able to focus on relevant cues and run with my team again. It feels a lot better than cross training in the training room. After classes, I ran another 4 on the alter g.
Looks like I'm not the only one who has taken a fall... http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/251077-News-from-the-Track-and-Field-World/article/25871-Natosha-Rogers-to-Team-New-Balance#.UzSL_PldWRF
