Mon 11/28 - PM 60 minutes incl. 10x200

An attempt at true leg prep, i.e. not what I've been calling "leg prep" the past few years but rather a workout that's not a workout. In this case, 200 meter reps with 400 meter recoveries, run continuously at a "no rig" speed. Partly this was motivated by the fact that I had to push this session up a day to avoid the horrible weather that's forecast for tomorrow, and I knew in my bones that I wasn't close to recovered from the weekend. Also dreading the prospect of doing turnover work in what were legitimately cold if almost perfectly still conditions. As it turned out the fatigue was more worth worrying about as I could definitely feel it. Took a few reps to dip under the magical 40 second barrier for the 200s, not sure if this is a measure of how atrocious my fitness is or of how hard it was to get going in the chill weather. I'm going with the former though, as I'm really out of shape at the moment.

40.4 (1:57.0)
41.7 (1:56.2)
40.7 (1:52.3)
38.9 (1:52.9)
38.9 (1:56.2)
39.0 (1:53.4)
38.1 (1:51.2)
37.8 (1:52.9)
38.3 (1:58.4)
38.2 (2:03.4)

As unimpressive a set of splits as one will ever see.
