16x400m with Jake and Kolten with 60 seconds rest. Averaged 75. It was snowy and cold.

Pretty good workout today. I think I could have gone a little harder for the first 10-12. I started with a 79 and then was hitting a lot of 76s with a few 75s and 74s and my last 4 were 74, 74, 73, 72. I was pretty exhausted after the last one so really I think it was pretty good. More than anything I need to get my reps more consistent, I always start faster than I finish. I think my 2nd 200m of most the reps were like 39s.

Tomorrow I'm going to double with a stroller run and then easy 7 with 2 miles at about 6:00 pace. Wednesday will be easy stroller. Thursday will be another workout with Jake and then another easy run Friday and long run Saturday. Should easily get over 50 again this week.

I'm going to try and be consistently around 40-55 miles over the winter and then in March/April I'll start getting some weeks over 60.
