today we did some 800s and 200s. we did 4x800s at 2:40 (5:20 pace). i stayed in the back for the most part and hit around 2:41-2:43. i really didn't feel like giving it my all on the 800s (probably because i got <4 hours of sleep). my shins were bothering me again during the warm-up but the pain went away after stretching. after the 800s we did some 200s at 35 seconds (4:40 pace) and under. we hit 34, 35, 32, 34. at first i thought these 200s would suck but they turned out to be better than my 800 workout haha. i found out the secret to running fast: short, fast strides vs. long strides. i decided to try out short, fast strides and the first 50m felt great but about 150m into it i started feeling it and had to open up my stride a little. group one did like 6x800? at 2:30 (5:00 pace) and george did like 6-8x1000 at 2:30(800) or <3:10(1000). so next time i'm blazing down the home straight at 4:25....short, fast strides!
the other guys did a 12x400 relay w/ 2 people so 6x400 each. jon tsang and ben edlin won....i think i would've rather ran the relay than the 800s today...except with the other guys and not varsity hehe.
