Mile pace session. I had something of a breakthrough. The workout was 2x200m, 2x800m, 4x400m, 2x200m at mile pace with 2:1 recovery. I had the best weather of the season so far, sunny and 65 degrees with only a light breeze. The first 200s were uneventful, as I ran 33.5 and 33.0 and thought I was feeling slightly sluggish. I started the first 800 slightly worried, came thorugh the first 200 in 32.x and then reached 400 in 63.x. I was stunned. I haven't run a 63 all season, and I felt like I had slowed down. Anyway, I finished the rep in 2:09.5. I ran the next 800 pretty much the same, 63.x first lap and then 2:08.5. I decided to try to hit 63-64 on the rest of the 400s and see how it felt. Those went by in 63.7, 64.9, 63.4, and 64.5. Last 2 200s went 31.5 and 31.0.
Reps: 33.5, 33.0, 2:09.5, 2:08.5, 63.7, 64.9, 63.4, 64.5, 31.5, 31.0.
