mile race sim

Date: 2024-05-07 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: frasier, citgo, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), bunker, voodoo, midriff, teddyf3, picasso FNGs: None COUNT: 9
WARMUP: 10min easy down to corner of Rushmore and Harney. :rotating_light:​ Cones laid down on the way. Dynamic exercises, 2min OYO, and let’s start this thing.
THE THANG: only 8 x 400m. The problem was that is done in a race simulation fashion. Run 400m at your 1 mile race effort, rest 1:00, repeat 7 more times. The second half should be approaching a “race feel$ with hitting near Max HR and perhaps building some lactic acid making the limbs feel heavy. If it wasn’t for my workout buddy, I may have taken extra rest, slowed down, or perhaps quit. It hurt.
Workout buddies today: teddyf3 👬 picasso and a partial midriff voodoo 👬 bunker Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff) 👬 bratwurst frasier 👬 citgo
Long jog back to COT with scenery from the Greenway and ponds 🦆, the Amp 🎸, the Bowl 🍜, OMB 🍻, and Johnston Rd 🤮
Lots of Beer runs and Beer rucks. OMB better get its act togethernor it’s going to miss out on this trend.
Astro took us out.

Answer:, #Fast Twitch workout.
WARMUP: -20 minute warm up on Arboretum View and Springs Drive
THE THANG: -Four 1/4 mile hill repeats on Bon Rea, at progressively faster paces, with recovery jog down the hill -The “Bannister Challenge” in commemoration of yesterday’s 70th anniversary of Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile. We each ran as fast as we could for four minutes. Unfortunately, none of us were able to match Sir Roger’s accomplishment from 1954. I marked the course in advance, hoping at least one of us could get to .75 mi within 4 minutes. Even that proved impossible today. -Jog back to parking lot
MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: nah
COT: joker with an impressively short COT, yet inspiring
