Track Day – Intervals
YHC needed some interval work to improve speed/endurance so we did the following:
PAX were encouraged to team up or just go for it
400m lap as fast as comfortable (modifications allowed/encouraged), followed-up by 400m recovery lap
800m fast, 400m recovery
1200m fast, 400m recovery
1600m fast, 400m recovery
PAX that finished the intervals then picked up the 6 and circled up for cool-down stretching: forward fold, OYO and even louder; walk it out to downward dog to stretch the calves again – right over left, left over right; move to plank for world’s greatest okayest stretch – left, then right; WMH x6
Time
COT
Getting better, or progressing, came to YHC during the 1200m interval. Being happy with where you are is not a bad thing, but why not try to progress? YHC could’ve slowed down/walked during the intervals but pushed myself to get to the cool down lap as I want to get better at running. Sure, be happy with where you are (in life/work/etc.) but also push yourself to progress in any/all of these areas.
Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand. This quote has stuck with me from, of all places, the cinematic masterpiece Van Wilder, but is apparently credited to Bodie Thoene – wise words either way.

“Bernie’s here, must be Time”

“Guess I’ll just run the whole time – no difference in my mosey and fast pace.”
“Can you imagine Minnesota mumble-chatter – oooooh yah, dontcha know? ope! you betcha!“
“Thanks for a proper track day – running the whole time is the point; glad you didn’t make us bring blocks”
