800m for time

Ran 2:17.4 in a workout with neg split 70,67. So I could probably run a little faster than that now, and have set a new goal of 2:10 by March. Followed up the 800 with some 200's in 28, so recovery is decent. Last week I had a good series of workouts with a 6mile run on Sunday, Monday did 2X600 in 1:37.8 and 1:50, Tuesday 30 minutes hard hurdling, Wednesday 20X100 at average 13.69. Thursday 40 shot glides. Tomorrow I start going out to Rick's building for vaulting and high jump practice. Hopefully the neck holds together.
I saw the information for the European indoor championships in Ghent March 16 of next year. If I could compete, this would give me another chance to do a pentathlon, which makes sense because I'm putting so much effort into the training. I'll find out whether or not I can compete.

Moved workouts to the Track

So it's early November, and the high school cross country season is over now, so I'm on my own. I've started doing more track workouts now and stepping up the intensity. I haven't been thrilled with my times so far, I thought I might be running a little faster after running cross country for a couple months. I think I just need the intensity of running against the stopwatch on a track to start pulling it together. I did do a decent 800 workout last night, 3x800 in 2:32,2:33,2:38. Those times are similar to what I would run a few years ago, so that's not too bad. I'm going to run a 800 weekend after next for time, so that will be a good indication of how the 1000m training is going, and whether breaking 3:00 is realistic. I did a 2:16 in practice about 4 years ago, and last year ran a 2:20 before I pulled my hamstring, so somewhere in that region is what I'm shooting for. A 3 minute 1k is 72 pace, or 2:24 for 800. It won't be easy.
My shoulder is hanging in there, but the pain is still there a little bit, and I tried to throw the jav the other day, but between the shoulder and right hip it's still a no-go. I'm going to a chiropractor for my neck,and it has improved a bit, I need my neck to be better before I can high jump again. My hurdling and long jumping feel great, I'm still confident I can match or exceed my marks from last winter in the pentathlon.
