Beautiful morning on the track at City Park. 5k pace workout: 7x800m (400m/2:00 jog), 400m (600m jog) then 4x200m @ mile pace (slow 200m jog).
2:31, 2:31, 2:29.9, 2:28, 2:29, 2:28, 2:28, 74
33.1, 33.8, 32.6, 33.0
The first 3 reps I relaxed over the final 200m and cost myself a second or two.
Awesome workout, I felt like I pushed it to an appropriate level of discomfort. My goal race is in 2 weeks, and I wish I had a little more time to prep. Another few weeks and I think I'd see the laps drop to 72s. Illness hit at just the wrong time, but I'm grateful to be running now. The discomfort in my legs all day since the workout is so satisfying.
