Cross-Country Interval Workout

Nov 02, 2005 22:53

During cross-country practice today, we did an interval workout. (Also known as a "tempo" workout.) I decided tonight that I'll let anyone who feels like learning about it in on how these workouts go about happening.

I may have just gotten home from my last cross country practice of my high school career. We'll see though, I'm sure there will be a whinny annoyed entry soon. My mom's actually going to call the coach because EVERYONE thinks he is an idiot. But I guess it's not thinking when it's FACT.

Anyways, sounds like a great workout, although we'd have likely done 8 x 400 in the regular season..Where are ya'll at in the season? Our state meet is saturday.

You were pretty consistent in the times, that's good. But haul butt in those speed work outs because they are SO helpful! It really hurts, trust me, I know, but when you get your recovery time or even the recovery after practice is over and you go home, once the race rolls around you'll be so much better off.

Do ya'll run any 5K's or is it all 2-mile races in your area? Sounds like ya'll have a good sized team too.

It sucks that your coach seems like an airhead; I guess we're kind of lucky that our coach is REALLY good--he knows exactly what he's doing and no one questions him. Did I ever tell you about some of his achievements? He could run a 4:08 mile time and 8:48 2-mile race. That is FREAKING insanely fast. He also said he could run 10 miles in 48 minutes. Yeah ( ... )

Oh, cause today (thursday) was my last day of practice, since tomorrow those who are going to state (WHICH SHOULD BE ME - and will be explained in my next entry or two) are leaving at 2 PM tomorrow and they'll just run on the course for practice friday, then saturday is state and after that everyone will be done.

Yeah, I remember something about your coach, some of these people are just insane!

I agree with the changing mood towards running, some days when I'm really tired I dread it. But now that I am officially done today and I'm a senior, I look back and realize how much fun it was and how much I'm really going to miss it.

I'm in South Carolina. We're in 3A which is something like 800-1200 students. It's odd to me, because I believe we have 1193 at school right now, I don't think we'd go to 4A, so maybe I'm off on the exact count.

25-30 is about the size of our boys and girls team...haha, we had a lot quit this year. I cannot take quitters. Haha..
