I was running full speed... it is laughable how slow I am!

Story about the training:
9:30 pm, home alone. It was a tough day at work. I set my stirring pan on the stove and think about what I could throw in it... but my conscious also tells me I'm a chicken to have procrastinated my todays planed track workout since I got home... Nah, this can't be it, I am tougher than that. I take the pan off the fire and soon instead of eating stir fry I am turning rounds under the stars on the track and field track.


I am planing to take my winter break in 1 month. During this period I have no major competitions anymore, so I will use this time to try out some new practices I might integrate in my winter training starting in December. If I do a mistake in my training during this period it is no big deal. Now I can live with loosing days of training because of unplanned sore muscles, unplanned exhaustion or small injuries. It is like a test period. Once I am starting to build up for next season than it is annoying to loose training days.


I know my max speed is very slow. I have never done trainings working on this. So I think I should do something to enhance my neuromuscular ability. That is why I was trying out todays training. I am not aiming a cardiovascular workout, but more a "coordinative" training.
As the track wasn't illuminated, I couldn't check my splits during the rests. Just running with the feeling. It wasn't always easy to see the marks, but it was a really fun experience... almost blind running.
