1. 2:40 w/ 200m recovery

2. 2:39 w/ 200m recovery

3. 2:37 w/ 400m recovery

4. 2:41 w/ 200m recovery

5. 2:42 w/ 200m recovery

6. 2:37 w/ 400m recovery

Part B: 3 x 400 at sub 80 seconds.

1. 80 w/ 200m recovery

2. 78 w/ 200m recovery

3. 76 w/ 400m recovery

Nice picture- I want to see you in that suit on the morning of STGM.

You do some crazy good speed work on the track that should pay off big time come the marathon. Good job with that workout. That's one area that I really need to work on. Those are some really impressive splits with low recovery.

How bad did it hurt?

Sasha, it didn't hurt too bad, but Josh Steffen kept me honest today. I was feeling a little heavy. The last mile felt pretty good. Mostly because it was last, I believe.

Clyde, what I'm doing on the track you're more than making up for on the road. Keep it up.

Chad,

Good job on the workout. The countdown has begun for St. George, we are all getting excited down here for all you talented runners up north to come down here. Good luck with your training over the next few weeks.

Good job! That sort of workout is incredibly difficult, and from the looks of it, you seemed to cruise right through. Nice effort!

Hey Chad,

Thanks for the encouragement. My recovery is going very well. Legs aren't as sore as I thought they'd be and I can actually breath now. I have made a Dr. appt. to get to the bottom of this breathing issue.
