4x600[m], 90[s] rest. he went 86,85,83,83. so between a little over 57[s] pace and a little over 55[s] pace.
so what is this 4 600s at his 1200m race pace? anyone have any thoughts on this workout?
hopefully once fall rolls around we will see some more teaam workouts from flocasts. like some team doing hill work (actually think we had byu women here) or something like the michigan michigan workout.
Well he stated he planned on passing 400 in 57 secons which is basically his 1500 race pace, and then he felt strong so he finished a couple seconds faster than race pace. I don't think he set out to run 1200 pace even though it may have paned out to his 1200 mter pace. Anyways, it was a great workout he seems to have held together well following Nationals. hopefullty he'' be sharp and ready for worlds after his relatively low key summer.
Manzano is the polar opposite of Webb in that Manzano will be one of the guys on the line at World's siding towards being under-trained and healthy/ready. I believe Webb warms up with 4 x 600M in 1:25 and then gets into a workout..
Looking at his workouts and recent performance at the nationals I would not be surprised if he made the finals at the World Championships.
If I were a Mexican fan I would not be too pleased that he is not running for his home country. To my knowledge nobody from Mexico has ever run 3:35 for the 1500.
Is Leo in Austin right now? Brutal place to rip off hard workouts in mid summer. BLAZING HOT! Sounds like he's fit though. Hope all goes well for him at worlds.
he speaks english, not mexican.
and he obviously has enough sense to run for the USA rather than Mexico.
at least the USA can afford the hotel room for worlds.
consider that.
He will be in the finals. You heard it here first.

-wtf?!? he's an AMERICAN CITIZEN. i'd be pissed if he ran for anyone but the US!!!!
well, saw him eating some pancakes last weekend- so as of last saturday, yes.

and, frankly, it ain't that hot here this summer. the last few days have been tough, but only relative to the idyllic "summer" we've had this year.
He ran the workout at 7am...you can still see the dew on the infield, so it counldn't have been that hot. His form still needs some work (arm caridge). Should be able to run 3:34/35 now. I guess the hardest part about staying at home and getting ready to run, is finding someone willing to do the workouts with you.
Did we go to Europe? If not, what's the reasoning behind a 2 month no-racing break?
A long season at UT? Cross, Indoors, Outdoors and US Nationals. That'd be my guess.
He grew up and went to highschool in Texas He doesnt speak Spanish better than any other kid that grew up in texas.
He won several TX state meets titles in Cross Country and in Track.
