The plan was to run 12X400 at the Woods Cross High School track. Ran an easy pace to the school (2.25 miles) and found that the gate to the track was locked. They just installed artificial turf on the football field and I guess they want to keep people off of it. Since I was planning on running on a track, I didn't bring my Garmin with me and was too far away from the road where I have done speed work in the past and am familiar with the 1/4 mile markers. I thought of just doing 80 seconds hard followed by 80 seconds easy but wanted to use the track so that I could check my pace every 100 meters. Decided to run the same tempo run as last week except take it the full 4 miles. Ran another easy 0.8 miles to the starting point. Was able to hit each mile right as planned (6:30, 6:24 [downhill], 6:30, 6:30). Started to lose focus during the last mile but felt pretty good for the most part. Finished up by running an easy mile back home. Warm Up/Cool Down: Distance = 4.3 miles Time = 34:48 Avg HR = 140 Tempo Run: Distance = 4 miles Time = 25:54 Avg HR = 172 |
