Speedwork with the Black Sheep, starting at the Rose Garden at Sugarhouse Park. We ran a loop around the park and then to the Highland track. Part A: 1 x 800m/accelerating strides on the straightaways, easy on the curves. Part B: 8 x 800m with 400m jog recovery between each. My goal was to hold 2:40 pace throughout, but it took a few to get me there. Here were the times: 1. 2:49 2. 2:45 3: 2:37 4. 2:40 5. 2:39 6. 2:41 7. 2:40 8. 2:40 Part C: Finally, we ran 1 x 1 mile. The goal was to run sub 5:40, and Josh Steffen, Brad Anderson and I ran 5:26 or 5:27 depending on which of us started the watch at the right time. Then a one mile easy cool down. |
