Mile Repeats/Tempo Run

Merry Christmas Eve.....

Last night I was flipping through some old workouts from a couple years back and I came across this workout that I made up and for some reason it stuck out. So I kept it in mind and did the workout today.

Workout is 4X1 mile repeats with quarter mile jog. Mile repeats are controlled effort roughly goal half pace. Then do a half mile cool at the end of the repeats then jump straight into a 25 minute tempo run. Love it because its a controlled marathon pace for 25 minutes.

Any workout results.....

2 mile warm

4X1 mile with .25 jog

Splits- 5:08; 5:05; 5:07; 4:58.(good to see that on the watch) Effort felt great and finally hit my first sub 5 of the year in a workout effort.

half mile cool

25 minute tempo/ hit 4.60 miles

Splits- 5:29; 5:25; 5:24; 5:27 and 3:13 for .60

1.30 cool back home. Added on to the cool to get over the half marathon.

You have to be sick to come up with a workout like this one! Heck of a job though! Merry Christmas!
