400m Escapes

Before I ended my internship in DC and headed home for a month, I jogged to the track to break up the monotony of the miles. 12x400, without looking at the watch until the lap was done. I just wanted something resembling speed.

On semi-tired legs I head to the track at 10:30 at night. Why so late? It's 10:30, and it's 95 degrees outside. Each night I choose between sleep and an awkwardly comfortable run. I have yet to choose the former.

3 sets of 4, 2min between reps, lap jog between sets plus a minute stretching.

My legs seem to creak in protest. I haven't done reps these short in months. I jog around the inside of the track, wiping pounds of sweat away in the torrential humidity.

Hip flexors are feeling the repeats.

God dammit these are fucking 400s not 800s. Run them like you're not alone

That's better
