Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out

Coach Fultz, you did it. You had me begging for mercy this morning during some of the 400 repeats. I don't think you planned to have the heat on the indoor track set on "Inferno" with 0% humidity so that after every repeat my mouth felt like it was packed with dry steel wool. But you did plan on having 100 meters of "recovery." My heart rate and breathing could recover enough, but it was my legs, my hips, my quads and shoulders that were filled with a cocktail of lactic acid.
This is what training is all about.
