Small Workout - Today's run was a test to see what my top end speed is. I ran 3.75 mile warmup on PW and over to Logan High. I did 6x400m with full 400m recovery. We (Sasha and I ) were interested in whether I could run 70 second quarters. So that was the goal. I went: I didn't hit 70 seconds even though it felt like I was going all out. I felt fully recovered between each repeat, but I just couldn't go any faster. I checked my 200m split for each one and I was between 35 and 37 for all of them, so pretty even effort throughout. I bet I could get them down to ~70 with a large amount of speed work, but is it worth it? Maybe I could then break a 5 min mile (1600m actually). Hmmm.... Within a few mins of jogging, I was fully recovered so I headed out and ran the landfill loop and called it a day. T-1:20:10 (11) (7:17) 151 178 max during the 400's PM: 4 Miles pushing the kids in the stroller. First evening in a while where there was no rain or threat of rain.
