Really good workout, decided to try doing the ladder workout that fellow blogger Chad has done a few times.

1.5 mile warm-up, then 3 sets of the following 1600, 800, 400, with 400 meter recovery jogs between each interval and set. I was pretty confident I could do two sets without really killing myself, so in my mind I kind of left it up in the air on doing the third set (would wait and see how I felt when I got to that point)

1st set

1600-5:38

800-2:46- maybe a little slow

400-1:17

2nd set

1600- 5:41 (2:51, 2:50)

800- 2:40

400- 1:17

Feeling pretty tired, but decide to give it a shot at another set

3rd set

1600-5:42 (2:51, 2:51)

800-2:45

400-1:17

1.5 mile cool down

Overall, felt pretty pleased with the workout, it is definately challenging, I also ran it around 12:30 so it was warm in the afternoon, probably low 80s

Good speed work today, especially in heat. It looks like you were very consistent, even when you were tired. Keep it up!

Great work, Dustin, you nailed this workout nicely. Way to hang in there through the third set. I bet it felt good to finish with that last 400 in 77 seconds.
