I took second at USATF Nationals Cross-Country when I was ten. I was 6th at nationals in the 3000 in 2004.

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 we did speed at the track. We did one mile slow, then a mile of speed changes and one lap slow. Then we did a ladder with 200, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 800, 400, 200, 200. Jogging equal distance in between. These were my times:

200:36

200:37

400:1:19

800:3:13

1000:4:14

800:3:14

400:1:26

200:35

200:35

For our cooldown I ran 4 laps slow. My foot hurt really bad today after the workout, I could barely walk. I felt like it was a good workout, but it is frustrating that my times drop so drastically in anything longer than a 400, and it seems to be like that in both speed workouts and races. My repeats that are at 400 or less I am generally able to do at 5:20 pace, but I'm barely breaking 6 in the mile. I don't know if I need to change my workouts or just keep doing what I'm doing. Any Ideas?

Let's try an experiment. Put on a heart rate monitor, find a pacer that can hold 5:20 pace without problems or pacing errors (Steve Ashbaker would do great), and follow him until you can't. Then go another two laps at the fastest pace possible, record the pace. What happens with your heart rate on each lap? Also, describe in detail how you feel, and why you cannot follow the pacer.
