Whelp. Speed today. The workout was the same one we did a little while ago, where we did 9 reps of something @800 pace starting at 300m until we fell off pace, moving to 200m and then 100m. Except we did 12 reps. I ended up doing 7 and trying to finish on the bikes because I was hyperventilating and couldn't get it under control. Splits were 45,47,49,34,32,32,31. We adjusted 2 seconds for the wind and had a a 2 sec buffer to hit pace. Kinda frustrating but gotta find joy in the journey I guess. On the bright side, my legs felt fantastic! I just gotta stay diligent with the breathing exercises.

20 min core

Climbing with Zack and a couple other guys so that was a great time.

Actually felt decent today! It was windy and cold and I went further than planned but my breathing felt good so I just kept going! I'm really happy about this improvement as far as breathing is concerned, it's promising for the future.

20 min core, and climbing tonight. Momentum @9:00 for those who want to come!

Premeet for the 800 tomorrow. 2x200m. 28.36 and 28.36 so that was definitely wild cuz I got the exact same split. Like wowzers. My legs were pretty heavy but felt better as the run went on. Good stuff.

Definitely a step in the right direction. I was really aggressive off the line so I wouldn't get boxed in, and it definitely payed off. Came through 200 in 27 and 400 in 58-59. The second lap I started to tighten up but I was able to relax and keep pushing. The last 15 meters a guy came up next to me and I thought "No. You're not passing me. Not a chance." And I guess I had another gear so I held him off. That is a very good sign that I have more to give. It's just a matter of being able to push myself to that level. Grateful to God for giving me the ability to run at all.

Broke my core streak gosh dang it
