Had a much better feeling workout today than Saturday. I think the difference was mostly because it was nice and cool in the morning. But I was probably a little more fresh also. Today after the warmup of 3 miles or so and strides I eased into some 400's, notching the pace down little by little until I got to the 73 range and then kept it there. Here were my splits for 10 of them: 79, 77, 75, 72, 73, 73, 74, 73, 72, 72 Did 200 meter recoveries between each. On the last one I tried to kick the last 200 meters to hit 70 seconds, but apparently I didn't have it in me. It felt way harder than the previous 72, but the split wasn't any faster. Clearly that was good timing to call it good for the day. I'm going to do the west end 3K race this Thursday night. My goal race pace will be to see if I can hold onto 77 second quarters for 7 in a row. Its going to be tough...should be fun though. The winner will probably hold 70-71 second quarter mile pace, based on previous results. |
