Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	0.50	10.50

I decided to run a route that I haven't done for a while. It was a good change. I ran up to the University track via 100W and 1000N. Once there I felt like I needed to do some good striders as I haven't done them in a while. So I jumped on the track and did 4x200m all out. It was pretty pathetic that my times were so slow for sprinting, but what can you do? I went 37, 35, 35, 34. They felt smooth and fast, only it wasn't. Must have been closer to a herd of elephants tumbling down a hill. Then I went home.

You are not training for the 800 so don't expect the time of a middle distance person. You went down with each one and they were under 5 minute pace, even the slowest, so do you think 5 minute pace is fast enough for St. George? Since your goal is more like 6 minute pace and your fastest 200 was a 4:30 pace I wouldn't feel too bad :)

Good Point Michelle-

I have a goal of breaking 5 min in the mile this year so that is in the back of my mind. My marathon pace is close to 6 min so being able to run "only" a 5 min mile is not a hinderance to that. I would like to be able to run 5:20's though for a 5K and I don't think I can do that if my all out single mile PR is 5:00 (one of those confidence issues I have). So, in my mind to increase my speed in all my distances, I must first look at my raw speed (200's) and go from there.
