Workout Journal Notes

It’s always nice when I’m typing these up to realize we did all of that within an hour.

It was a chilly one this morning, mid to upper 40’s, so it was good preparation for how I’ll feel doing HIIT sprints this winter.

At first, I was absolutely freezing, but about 10-15 minutes in, after we finished the warm-up, I felt a lot better.

It was still pretty cold, but with a little better preparation in terms of clothing, I’m confident I won’t have any problem at all as it continues to get colder.

I’ve just got to get some thermal pants, running gloves, and some type of hoodie, and I’ll be good to go, since I’ve already got the thermal shirt.

It was a challenging workout as always, but it definitely felt MUCH easier than Tuesday’s.

Saturday mornings are the adult groups, while Tuesday afternoons are the younger athletes, so it really helped that I had already made it through Tuesday’s insane workout.

Any time I started to feel fatigued today, I just thought to myself how this would only be a warm-up compared to what we did on Tuesday!

I’m excited as always to see what the results of adding the speed camps back in will be tomorrow for measurement day, so tune in to find out…
