Got up at 5:30 and made my way over to the Pineview track for some 800s with Clyde and Steve. I was a little late, so I didn't get in as long as warm-up as the other guys, I only went a mile, so I started my workout, when they were starting their second interval. Both Clyde and Steve were running a pretty quick pace, I settled into more of a Yasso 800 workout. Here are the splits

1-2:40 felt like I'm still warming-up

2-2:40 felt better

3-2:39 felt pretty good here

4-2:39 Pretty happy I'm consistent with these times, I was just wanting to be between 2:40-2:45 range

5-2:45 I felt pretty tired on this one, and not very focused.

6-2:42 This last one was a struggle, but at least it was faster than the 5th one.

Workout- 3 miles threshold, 2 miles easy recovery

Finished with Steve driving me over toward Middleton Drive, then ran back to the high school and added a little bit 2.5 miles.

DS Trainer- 67.5
 

I'm glad I made it over to the track and did this workout. I felt ok with the times, last year I would do similar workouts and be in the 2:45 to 2:50 range, so I really think I'm faster than last year at least at this point.

Now we are off to Vegas for a short overnight trip and some relaxation.

Good job getting all six in. We just need to make sure we do it once a week now until the STGM.

Way to go on getting in all 6. Have fun in Vegas!

nice job on the 800's. how much recovery time do you allow? i usually jog a 400 slow and it ends up being around 3:00. do you think that is too much rest time?
