I ran 5 miles, running most of it on the track again. This distance seems pretty good for me until I start feeling like I am getting more back to normal. I decided to run a few strides as I was running, while also throwing in a couple hard 200's with the wind mostly at my back (the wind was really strong today). The wind was in my face for about 50m on the first 200, and then at my back for the last 150, and I ran a 29. On the second 200 the wind was in my face for about 75m, and at my back for about 125 (the tailwind was partially blocked by the man made hill which comprises the seating, so it was not as strong as before) and I finished in 30s. I then started to run barefoot again. Some other guys at the track started running 800's while I was running barefoot. I wanted to see if my feet would get ripped up again, so I joined them on one of their repeats, running splits of 80s and 77s (2:37 total). Even with the wind being as bad as it was I felt very relaxed, and I was much happier than I was yesterday. Today I felt like I had another gear which is a positive. |
