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.
