Training is going great as well. As I have posted previously, this time of year is all about getting the work in to prepare ourselves for the long outdoor season ahead. I feel like I am in good shape and my body is healthy which is always, always, always, a plus. Last week, we did a little bit of aerobic, strength work on Monday, followed by some solid 800 meter specific work on Wednesday. Due to the race on Saturday, we combined our long run and tempo run on Friday.
As of right now, we are looking to open up my season at Penn Relays. Word on the street is that there won't be any USA vs The World events this year. So I'm not sure what event I will be doing yet, but I think it will be the open mile again as I did last year. My first 800 looks like it will be at Oxy in May. Coach Gags and I are going to keep a flexible schedule though as the season goes on. I'd like to run more 1500s this year because I think I have some untapped potential in that event, but I'll be sticking with the 800 as my primary event!
I hope everyone is enjoying the fast approaching springtime, as long as the weather continues to improve! I have posted my workouts from last week below...
