[Today 1 mile plus 10 100 meter sprints]<\/p>\n
It’s been awhile since I did any sprints.\u00a0 So this weekend I grabbed up the 100′ tape measure and some stakes and a couple of old cans of spray paint and laid out a 329 ft. section in front of the house.<\/p>\n
Three hundred twenty nine feet is just a few inches over 100 meters.<\/p>\n
Tonight I gave it a try.\u00a0 I jogged down to the stop sign and back, 1 mile.\u00a0 Then I ran 10 repeats of the 100 meters.\u00a0 I usually try to do a few easy, a few medium, and a few hard.\u00a0 Since I had not done this in awhile, I only did two hard ones, #7 and #9.\u00a0 In between each sprint I walked back to the start and tried to recover.<\/p>\n
I don’t think I overdid it, but I can definitely feel it.\u00a0 My fastest were just under 19 seconds.\u00a0 I hope to trim that down some over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago track and field great and former NFL player Willie Gault ran 11.30.\u00a0 He’s about 6 months older than I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
