Personal:

I did lots of competitive running growing up. I'm now 23 and have fibromyalgia and CFS. I just finished nursing school and am going back for my MSN in a few months, but I want to get back in shape and be able to run again.

Today I warmed up 2 miles around the perimeter of Sugarhouse Park. Then I did 3 laps of speed chages and one lap slow. Then I did 5x400, I was supposed to keep them under 1:25, these were my splits:

1-1:22

2-1:20

3-1:24

4-1:19

5-1:13

They all felt really good ecspecially the last one, I think I could have went faster in the last one if I would have pushed hard the whole time instead of just the second half. After that I did 45 minutes of hurdle drills, and a half-mile cooldown on the track. (Pegasus 25)

Breanna - this is unbelievable! You can run a 1:13 at the end of this workout, and yet you cannot do 4 400s none stop in 1:25. This makes no sense at all. Try this:

Find an HRM and wear it. Have your dad or somebody else who can comfortably run a mile in 5:40 pace you evenly at that pace. Your goal is to hang in there with them until you absolutely cannot or until you make it to the mile. Monitor the heart rate through the run. Maybe have your pacer wear the watch part of the HRM. What happens to the heart race as the run progresses?

It would be a good idea to do it off the track on some secretly marked course where the pacer would know the marks but you would not.
