Getting Fit for Racing the 800m

Today was a mix of aerobic and anaerobic training. The two elements needed for a middle distance runner. Feeling great after only one day of active recovery from a very hard track session.

2 miles @ 10:20
1x800m @ 2:18
1x400m@60
1x300m@41
1x200m @ 24.7
400m jog recoveries
2x50 plyometric box jumps
and 20 pullups

my recovery included;
1. Cold shower. The tap water is always very cold in the winter. Great for post workouts to reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. 
2.Branched chain amino acid recovery drink
3.anti oxidant supplements .
4. stretching 
5. foam roller
