Speed Work Tonight

Tonight I made up for the fact that I wussed out on Wednesday. I ran 6x400’s. For those of you playing the home game you basically warm up at a comfortable pace (for me about 8:34 minute miles) and then you run like hell for 400 meters (7:30 minute miles), then slow again, then fast, etc... Tonight I did this 6 times, hence 6x400. The idea is it should help my overall speed.

After my running I did some lifting. I try to focus mostly on the upper body as that is where I am weakest. Evidentially this will help my running. I’m not so sure, but Uncle Hal (Higdon) seems to think so and who am I to argue?
