We are three days into our spring training and the theme seems to be soreness, hard work, and great workouts! I think all will agree that the little bit of soreness from having those spikes on for the first workout is well worth it.
Yesterday, the 800m/1500m group posted an incredible workout starting with 4 x 500m repeats (women running right at 5:00/mile pace) + 3 x 400m repeats, and then closed with 2 x 300m quick. The women ran through 1:34/500m, 74/400m, and 49/300m. Awesome.
Today, the distance group pounded out intervals through some good wind at the track. The wind brought back the feeling of being on the UB wind tunnel track, so it did not phase the runners. In prep for the steeple chase, we had Ellen run the middle 400m of 1000m repeats over hurdles, but keeping pace with the others in their training group running flat. Ellen's workout was one of her best ever. 3:32/1k, running over hurdles like she was born to do it. The other women ran 5 x 1000m flat and had a strong workout. To conclude the workout, we tacked on 2 x 200m quick - Sprehe showed her stuff - both at 30.0 like it was nothing. Sanders decided she had some speed, running 32 and 31... she's been holding out on us. Now that we know she has speed, we're gonna make her use it!
Thursday morning we head over to Winston Salem to get ready for the Wake Forest Invite...
