A notable alum has berated me mercilessly for having workouts I didn't particularly like, but it is what it is. All in all, I loved running back in the day and enjoyed virtually every part of it. My favorites were the mountain runs and repeat 400s. My least favorite were:
- Tees to Greens - this was invariably on Wednesdays. Big mistake was trying to catch back up to the real runners after every surge. Made for a 10K at near race pace and a time nearly as good as the upcoming Saturday race. My problem, my fault.
- The Modified Michigan Workout 3 x Mile with 2 miles of "tempo" between. Same problem for me in this one. My problem, my fault.
- Any Hill Workout: My heart murmur never liked these. This led to excessively high heart rates at the top when John Barber or Coach Groves himself had you take your heart rates right after the peak. I had to lie to avoid having to be shipped to the ER. No one should ever have a 250 heart rate without seeing a doctor.
What are your favorites? And least favorites? I would love to hear from the Throws guys and the Jumpers and Sprinters as I barely know any of your workouts to begin with.
