Wed. 400m x 6~!

Wow- that was the first workout of its kind for me. After my one summer day's of speedwork at the track in Regina I've been chasing away nightmarish memories of muscle stiffness and gr. 7 track and field races (aka misery).

Instead of driving up to the track in Duncan, I decided to just attack the roads around Shawnigan. I'm not too sure how long it would take me, so I sprinted steadily for 1min 1/2 and then jogged 3 minutes (yet keeping my cadence high like chi running). It worked out way better up the hills, then down. I did 6, and was pretty done, but not really all the same... maybe my pace isn't fast enough? I suppose this is why a track makes for a good benchmarker.

I worked at the x-country ski bum too, and it feels like i've just uncovered a whole new source of power, the never ending hill by the Black Swan seemed like kindergarten work as I swayed my glutes with greater purpose.

C'est tous.
