6.5 regular morning loop around Green Spring area 6.5 miles workout with Steve at the track Steve and I decided to do a 400m workout and with the half maratthon we have this weekend we cut it in half. So we did 10 x 400m @ 80 seconds or lower with 200m recovery after each one. I didn't have a watch so Steve would yell my time as I crossed and then follow with his so it could be a little off on either side. 1. 78 sec - just getting the feel of the workout 2. 77 sec 3. 77 sec -blah 4. 76 sec 5. 76 sec 6. 77 sec -blah 7. 77 sec 8. 75 sec -picked it up a little 9. 79 sec - slowed down to get ready to really push the last one 10. 64 sec - I told Steve we should hit 70 on the last one and he said he'd do 75- so we went and pushed it he ended up way better than goal too at 69 sec. Good workout even with the strong headwind. I hate doing speed in windy conditions but what can you do. Hope to keep playing with this workout and mold it into the 20 x 400m... we'll see how things go. |
