Track Workout

Met with my highschool boys out at fremont after class and sncuck in a workout with them since I didnt get a run in this morning .

Ended up doing 12X400 with them, 

My goal was to start at 72 pace for the first 4, 69 pace for the next 4, then 67 pace for the last 4.

Splits- 71, 71, 69, 70. The next 4 were 68, 68, 67, 68. Last 4 were 67, 67, 66, and 65!

Awesome worrkout! Rest was 60 seconds came to be around 100 meter jog.

Boys did awesome should have some good placings at footlocker that is coming in December.

Warm/Cool was 3.75/2.10

total mileage- 9.70
