We met at the Oval to do some speed. The BYU girls were there again. We did 8 laps warmup, 4 laps speed changes and then put on our flats. We started with one mile. It was supposed to be 10 seconds faster than the average pace of the repeats we did the other day. I was aiming for 5:43/44, but ran a 5:45. We did 3 laps of recovery and then an 800. Unlike the mile, I was able to stay with the BYU girls, which was good. I was faster than I was supposed to be. I ran 2:43, but I think I was supposed to run closer to 2:50. That makes me think I should have pushed the mile harder. Next, we did 9x300. It was broken into sets of 3. We only had about one minute rest between each one, but after the set we got a lap recovery. We were aiming for 5 minute pace which I believe is about a :58 high, but we were closer to :56 on all of them. It felt weird to run so fast. It was definitely a shock to the system. By breathing felt ok, but my legs were exhausted by the end! It makes me excited to get on the track. We finished to 11 miles.
