MY HARDEST TRACK WORKOUT EVER | storytime

Maybe a 22 mile run at marathon pace with the last 5k all out on the track with my friend pushing for me to go faster :) For track, maybe 5 sets of 3x200, going 80, 90, 100% on each 200 with 60 seconds walking rest. Or maybe it was a 39km workout where I had to do ladder tempos of 5,4,3,2,1 mile with 1 mile float in between. Never recovered and ended up dropping out of the marathon I had 2 weeks later.

My hardest was when I did 2 200s, 2 400s, and 2 more 200s. That’s the day my leg had a stress fracture. I haven’t run since.

In junior high I had a coach who’s favorite workouts to make us do were 4 800s, 10 200s, or 8 300s. I’ve never done anything that hard in high school

Okay wait I’m having Achilles issues and have been looking for something like that sock...what is it??

Good old mile repeats. ALWAYS a classic tough one. Doesn’t matter if they’re tempo pace. Doesn’t matter if they’re mile pace. Just the words “mile repeats” makes me SHIVERz

I assume you've read Once A Runner.....this makes me think of when Bruce Denton make Quenton run 60 quarters in the moonlight.

The hardest (and hypest) workout imo is the Michigan, if you can survive that running goal race pace on the non tempo reps then you know come the end of the season you'll be ready to run your goal time and maybe faster.

The hardest workout I've ever done was probably 8 300s with a 100m rest recovery and I had to catch up my 2 teammates who started about 15m ahead of me

12 200m repeats 30sec break in between at a 30-32 sec pace I was dead

Make merch!!

most difficult XC workout: 8x1k/1min rest with a whopping 6k warmup and 6k cooldown all on rolling hills (!!!) That was TODAY, so it's funny you posted this vid!

My hardest was actually at a track meet. I had to run a 3200, a 1600, the shuttle hurdle, and then the open 800

So I talked to my high school cross country coach and she used to go to university of Oregon and she thinks she may remember you. Her name we call her is coach Hollie, she graduated 2016

600 meter repeats , 400 meter repeats , 1000 meter repeats . Anything that repeats lol

Last year I got hit with 1200s and let me tell you I would pray we never had to do those again

Mile repeat day or ladder workouts 😅

" dOn'T bE a LiTtLe WusS " " OkAy

Anyone else heading into XC high school state champs week? Ya girl is stuck with bad shin splints and pain pills 😣

Mile repeats

Lol hardest workout was always when my coach decided to destroy us the first day back from spring break and run 800 repeats

This is me in basketball and I’m in shape

Worst ever. 12 min tempo straight into a 1000 then 800,600,400,200. I cried so much!!

probably: 4 hill repeats, 4 x 200m 4x broken 800 and then 300-250-2x200. those broken 800s really got me

TRACK PRE-SEASON STARTS MONDAY!!! Love track a little more than XC (cuz of the colder weather)

So i have stomach issues occasionally where it feels like it tightens up every like 3 minutes. The one time i had that during xc season we had 3200s 1600s 1200s 2 sets. that...was....hell

I live in Eugene

hardest workout hands down was this year xc (high school sophomore) two days before state we ran 4 1/2 miles route then we went to the track and we had to run 2 800s mile pace 4 400s 800s pace then we had to do 4 200s 400 pace. Two freaking days before state what coach does that. The girls aren't that strong of runners and he usually has us do less than the guys but today he had us do the same thing and we were all on the ground right after and once we got home we had to immediately take ice baths. He is not a great coach.

Uhhhh 70 sec 600s??? So what 50sec 400 and a 20sec 200??? Did you mean 80-85?

Maybe not the hardest single workout ever, but a consistently grueling one fore me was all out 6x200 with 5 minutes of rest or so. Oh yeah, and it was in the middle of an 8 mile run.

Mile and a half repeats. Literally the only reason I finished the workout was because I was sure I died a couple miles before the end so may as well finish it as my ghost.

The thumbnail's LOL

that 6-4-3-2 workout is really the worst

8 400s at 72

coach made us to 8 hills then 1, 2, 3, 2, 100's. my body was screaming for the sweet release of death by the end

Every bad running story starts with an injury, sickness, or it’s too hot/cold

we had to do a 3000 at our mile time so we had to take a minute off of our time and i couldn’t function normally for a week afterwards

Yes, so true, I still remember my hardest workout 5 years later. Our coach grouped me and two other girls with freakin Alysia Montaño for a ladder. I forget exactly the breakdown, but it was x3. I peed blood and felt like a ghost on our long run the morning after.

Mine was 8 200's all out/under 30, with a half lap jog (crawl) between each.

one time in track season we had to do 1 100 2 200s 3 300s 4 400s and then go back down

I’ve done that same workout many times but with a 100 and 50 on top of that on each set and man I remember the first time it was pure death. But then I came to love that one because 7 1ks at 5k goal pace was my actual enemy.

My toughest workout was 8x1ks in the sand. Not a good day

You seem fun to be around! I subscribed 😂👍

This is funny sorry! 😂 (the "cute" night sock)

Youre funny. Love it!!

For me the worst is a ladder up to a mile and back down with a jog lap between every rep

Toughest one I've ever done was 4x60sec time trials with 3mins, 2mins, 1min recovery. My coach reckons there was some formula for a 1500m predictor out of it. All I know was that by the third one I was so lactic I could barely talk. Got through it somehow.

Still watching in 2021!! I love your content and you have a great personality 💕
