Hamstring Treatment - Week 14 - 4 Miles, Speed Work: Parloff Relay..

Tonight we did a Parloff Relay: 25 minutes with Jenny and me each doing 2 x 200 m. laps (400 m. total) before handing the baton to the other. Here are our splits:

1:37 (me)
1:49 (Jenny)
1:30 (me)
1:48 (Jenny)
1:31 (me)
1:47 (Jenny)
1:33 (me)
1:43 (Jenny)
1:33 (me)
1:41 (Jenny)
1:33 (me)
1:39 (Jenny)
1:32 (me)
1:39 (Jenny)
1:32 (me)
1:37 (Jenny)

Looking back to last summer, my times are comparable, although I was able to ramp up to a 1:20 final dash, whereas 1:32 was all I had in the tank this time. But my average pace was 1:30.62 back in July, whereas my average pace tonight was 1:32.62 -- so just 2 seconds per 400 m. difference overall.

I felt strong. I felt like I could actually _push_ with my right leg, for the first time in a long time. Still I'm not 100% -- but I'm feeling close. And if comparing the numbers to last July are any indication, I'm at (90.62/92.62) 97.8%!
