Poster: The Best Plan
Subject: RE: TrainMe: 400m to 5k

Probably not too big a deal. If you can cross train, I would try biking for a week instead of running...though light running will probably do the trick. You could also take 2 or 3 days off back to back and see if that helps.

When you start doing workouts again, maybe drop the intensity to 85% and shorten the rests between reps for a week.

You may need a better warm up for track sessions. Try warming up for 1.5 miles of light jog, then run .5 miles around the track running accelerations on the straight away (4 total). I think a good stretching routine after an adequate warm-up helps...there are a lot of haters when it comes to stretching these days, but I believe you need to be limber to sprint train. Also, you can drop your cool down to just walking or a short jog if your legs are trashed.
