Ughh. Ladders suck right now. (Read 135 times)

Hello Running Ahead community, hope everything is going good with your day and your training. I was supposed to do my workout this morning at 6:30 A.M. Some complications came up and changed things up. I didn't start my workout tell a little after 8:30. The heat was not that bad. The shade was still nice. My workout consisted of a ladder. 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1600, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200. While this may of been a breeze for some of you on here. I couldn't do it all at one go. I did ladders back in April and May during track. But they were rare. Maybe 1 every week or two. I also never ran a 1000 or a 1600 in a ladder before. The only time we would do those is when it would be for a workout. A mile or mile and a half. We did a 2-2.5 mile (only the distance runners) within the first three weeks of workouts. While that may not seem like a big deal, this came from a small group of about 6 runners who played basketball and football this year but never ran for this long. Anyways, all I did of that ladder was a 200, 400, 600, 800 and 400. I figured I had at least done a mile anyways. A 1.491291 miles to be exact. I am definitely scratching the 1600 from this ladder. I will maybe attempt the 1,000 in my 2nd week when I do the ladder but in reverse. Long-Short-Long with having the 1,000 being the first thing you would do and the last thing as well. I may go out later today and make up for some lost distance from this morning. I think I could do three 400's with a minute break before each one. That would add 1200 meters.
