The gully long run is officially closed off, kinda sad. We ran in the lower gully, 20 minutes easy, 20 minutes hard, 20 minutes easy. I ran with Davis for the 20 minutes hard and finished at well under 6:00 pace. I am feeling good, I could break 10:00 in the 3200m if I raced it right now. I'm thinking maybe break 10:00 and run the 800m on Wednesday and then PR with sub4:30 on Saturday if conditions are good. But maybe I will race the mile on Wednesday because it would mean more rest. I'm feeling fast!

If you want to make the 3200 your priority on Wednesday you can. But then I wouldn't have you do the 1600 or the 800.

Hmm that does make it a little less appealing, and I also would be very tired for the 4x400, its probably a better workout option to concentrate on the 1600m, then I could do 1600m, 800m, 400m, and 4x400? I think Alpha will be a better sub 10:00 day because the 3200m is the first event of the first day. Wednesday would be hard because likely no one else will be going for it.

If you are going for a good time on Saturday, and that is the most important to you, I wouldn't kill myself on Wednesday by running so many races, unless you are able to recover faster than most people.
