I went to the oval this morning for some speedwork. I warmed up about three miles. I jumped in the workout of a group that was training there. They were running 6 x 2 laps, with a half lap recovery. So, 884 meter repeats with 221 meter recovery. My paces were a bit all over the place. I split the occasional 200 or 400 to see how fast I was going, but I was primarily running off of effort. I ran anywhere from 5:25 pace (too fast!) to 5:45 pace. I think my average was around 5:40 pace. The short recovery made for a rough workout. We will just call it a good fartlek workout! I think next week I will run 800 meter repeats to see where I really am. This group meets every Tuesday morning, so it will be nice to have some training partners. 2.5 mile cooldown. |
