3/12/10 Track Practice

Yesterday, I was told that track practice would be easy, and that we would just do a light workout in the weight room. That did not turn out to be the case. Upon arriving at practice, coach informed us that we would be running Ironmans. For those of you that don't know what an ironman is, it's a timed competition where everyone must run a certain distance in an allotted time amount. We had to run four 200 meter sprints in 36 seconds. This was a semi-easy pace, but the fact that there were 4 is what made it hard. After running the ironmans, coach Montoya had the distance runners do a circuit workout in the weight room. This turned out to be one of the hardest workouts I had ever done. It was a nonstop workout with ab workouts in between each weight set. I'm really happy that coach Montoya is pushing us to our limits. I'm convinced that no other school is training their distance runners as much as coach is training us. I have high hopes for this season.
