Workout. I wasn't sure how my shins would hold up, but surprisingly, they were fine. There was a ton of confusion with the start of practice though (aka, our coach told us the wrong place to meet so we all were lost and confused), so we ended up starting the workout a half hour late. Oops.
So basically, we had a 25 minute warm up, then 8x100 m strides, then the workout, then a 5 minute cool down, then 4x200, then 15 min cool down and legs. The workout was on the 900m loop of the cross country course. We did 4 loops of 40 sec hard, 60 sec easy. It wasn't too bad at all. By the fourth lap I was definitely feeling it, especially on the incline side. But my shins were fine and overall, the workout went well. Our target pace for the 200s was sub-40, and I hit :39, :39, :37, :36. We had to do them on the incline side, so by the last one, my hips and hamstrings were feeling the burn, but it was okay.
