run training however was in the morning, starting at 7am instead of being in the evening. the night before, i had to work late, only getting home at 130am. meaning i would sleep a little less than 4 hours, having to wake up at 6am. i wasn't particularly excited about the getting up early part. i was definitely going to be a zombie during training.
i was ecstatic that i actually managed to drag myself out of bed when my alarm rang at 6am. finally, i get to go for training. i was feeling a slight discomfort in my lower back due to work the day before, had to carry alot of heavy stuffs around. but still, got there, did my 2km warm up, and stretched. coach constantly reminded me to keep stretching. i stretched alot yesterday.
we started with an 800m fast-slow run.
then, we did 400m sprints, 15 times. the first 2 rounds, i manage a 1.29 time. it was all downhill from there. dropping to 1.30, 1.31, 1.33, 1,35, 1.40, 1.38, 1.41, 1.43 and so on.
by the 8th round, i was on the verge of giving up. i kept telling myself, one last round then i'm going to sit the next round out. but i did manage to hold it out and complete all 15 rounds. it was super tiring. coach kept going, give it all you got. and i just kept thinking to myself, i've got nothing more to give, i've used it all. completely utterly exhausted. but everytime i finish a training, im always glad i turn up at training and held it out. all smiles about it.
coach announced training on the 1st january. it's going to be crazy. wait for it. i'm in shivers just thinking about it. yeps that's coach.
