But...I think I was at 90% the whole time yesterday. But I did it. <br /><br />When I think back to the workouts I was doing just 6 years ago, and then 10 years ago, and 20 years ago...I realize I am running in a different body now.

The first time you think of where you are in the workout is about 80% effort. The point when you start thinking about how many you have left is 85%. When you have to talk yourself into each one, it's 90%. And when you stop in the middle of one because you can't go on (and your coach yells at you to keep moving) it's 95%. <br /><br />I once did 25x400 in 75, with one minute recoveries (in 1984).SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614641499256174127.post-28804959309281755852013-01-19T07:36:57.282-07:002013-01-19T07:36:57.282-07:00Heather, 400s are the best because they are short ...Heather, 400s are the best because they are short bursts of pain and you get them over with. And sushi is the perfect recovery food. Any day. <br /><br />One of these days you need to try my favorite sushi place in Las Vegas, Sushi Freak. Let me know if you ever do a run there, I'll tell you how to find it. Maybe I'll even fly out and meet you there.
