Viewmont High track. Warmed up with 2 easy miles then ran 12 X 400m with 200m recovery jog between each. McMillan's calculator says I should run these between 83 and 88 seconds so I was shooting to keep them all below 83. Here are the splits:

77 (new pace - didn't know how fast to run)

81

80

82

81

81

81

82

82

80 (I was going to stop at 10 so I pushed to hit exactly 80)

83

80

I started to hurt towards the end but it wasn't too bad. My biggest weakness seems to be giving in when I start to hurt. These really aren't long enough to build that mental toughness (or I didn't do enough of them). I think that 800's will be better for me to practice working through the pain. Cooled down with 1.5 miles to make it an even 8 for the day.

Avg HR = 152 (peaked at 177 during repeats)

Total Time = 1:00:49

Good work! It is not unreasonable to not be willing to experience anaerobic pain at first since your mind is still in the marathon mode. You are still thinking "this it too much pain for 26 miles" while you are running a quarter. Keep doing those, eventually you'll learn to push yourself. I think you can do all of them in 80 or faster next time.
