Warmed up 1.5 then did a 5 minute tempo, 4x800m (2 mins rest), 4x400m (1 min rest). Ran at millennium park. 5 minute tempo was about 5:55 pace, I took 3 minutes recovery before 800ms. 800ms were 2:37, 2:41, 2:29, 2:29. I switched from the direction to the fast direction after 2. I got through 2 400ms in 69 each and then about 300m through my 3rd one I ran out of time because Beccas lunch break was over. Planning to do 4x400m tonight and then take tomorrow off. Later did 1.5 mile warm up and then 4x400 with 1 minute rest, went 72, 70, 64, 65 on the 350 meter track next to my house. Switched directions on the last two. So an average of just under 68... obviously kind of inaccurate. So 800ms averaged 2:34 and 400ms averaged 68. If that had been on the track I'd be fairly happy, I also have a feeling that on the track the same effort would have yielded slightly faster times. |
