TRACK

15X400 with 50 reps of legs exercise for recovery

We did a track workout today. We are the only Boot Camp in town that does anything close to this. In fact, this workout was tougher than anything going on in high school track. It was just flat out hauling butt.

Caroline was wearing the watch today. She was smack in the middle. If you look at the readout, on the left side is a summary. In the box below the summary click on "view splits". You can see how consistent she was for the entire workout. This was blazing fast but "in control". Notice her "best pace" was stuck on 4:50 until the final laps where she kicked it in. Controlled.

The pack around her was a little faster or a little slower but everyone was in control. We started out with two groups. About half way through the workout, each group split in two. We had four groups simultaneously running repeat quarters. Then near the end of the workout we merged back into two groups and finally we reconnected everyone for a final 600 meters.

For those of us who have a Track & Field background, this was beautiful poetry in motion. The sight of 40 people taking turns galloping around the oval in perfect harmony, striding in packs and drawing energy from the pack to continue was beautiful. 4 miles, 750 reps.

We are going to take it easy for the rest of the week.

Princess  got off the hook. Arnaud's bride, Dawn joined us today. We did the exercises but we only dropped the hammer once.
