Don’t let these faces fool you. These two turkeys woke me up so many times last night. I kept trying to calculate the amount of sleep I could get before my track alarm clock.
Here’s the rundown on today’s Track Tuesday workout with my Speed Session group:
The Russian (It’s always scary when your workout has a name)
4 Mile Warmup/Drills
3×300 w/60 second jog (My 300M goal was 1:07)
800 recovery jog
REPEAT 3x
1 Mile Cool Down
Here are my splits: I’m pretty happy with my workout:)
1:08
1:06

800 recovery jog
1:07

My Speed Session Group is amazing! Not only have they pushed my paces, but they are such an encouragement.
I came home and devoured this watermelon! It’s hard to beat cold watermelon after a killer workout.
I put on some dry clothes and ran a few more miles before GRIT class.
Rockin’ my Oiselle flystyle. Cross Top Mesh Tank, Strappy Bra, and the Mac Roga shorts.
Do you do weekly track workouts? What kind of speed work are you doing this week?

Okay, so normally I do track work on Tuesdays but, since this week is the official start of my marathon training plan, I did 8 hill repeats close to home this morning. I’m sure I’ll be doing speed work at the track again next week, but I really need to work some prescribed hill work into my plan. I have a half marathon on October 25 that is VERY hilly! Great, great effort this morning and love that flystyle! 🙂

I’ve always heard that hill repeats are speed work in disguise. I checked out your training plan and really like it!

I’ve been doing longer-rep workouts lately, like 2×2 miles. The Russian sounds pretty fun, though! Maybe I’ll mix it up and give it a shot this week.

That last set on dead legs is particularly tricky! It definitely a good workout!

You did a track work, then went for a run, and then did a GRIT workout?! (I don’t even know what that is, but it sounds tough!) You are my h.e.r.o.

I don’t usually take a GRIT class after track, but I had to reschedule from yesterday. I’ll definitely have an early bedtime tonight! http://w3.lesmills.com/westcoast/en/fitness-classes/team-training/les-mills-grit-series/about-les-mills-grit-series/
