I woke up aching all over today, the double session yesterday was really tough. But the training continues. No pain, no gain
It was bright and early, pretty hot too when I got to the stadium. Workers are still patching up the track. A few bumps left to be replaced and fixed. By Monday I should have a barrier free track all to myself

Speed Endurance
This workout is really tough always. You run 200m, rest 1 minute, run 200m, rest another minute and lastly a 100m. It really works on your speed endurance, thus the need for a short rest time. You need to give your optimum 400m pace throughout, kinda like assimilating the 400m run itself
Today my butt bear the brunt of the training, the side effects of speed endurance. We call it ‘tear our backside’. It was really excruciating plus plenty of catching of breath. The good thing, the lactic acid subsided fast today, but the body was just not willing. It was pretty aching and tired
Initially I planned two sets of speed endurance. But after the first set, I came up with discouraging timing, it’s wise not to run again. The timing will be just as bad, no point
The thing is, I had to run the first set to find out if my body can take the next set. Looks like second set will be skipped today. I’ll do better next week. Sometimes things are just out of your hand, and it affects your training.
Disruptions at my venues is inevitable, all I can do is adapt and try harder next time round
