I ran a progression run today with the East High team down at Liberty Park. We warmed up by running to Collin's house to drag his butt out of bed and to practice. This gave us about half a mile. Then we ran four laps around the outside loop of Liberty Park. Each loop is half of a mile. We were supposed to get 15 seconds faster on each loop.
Loop 1: 10:52.7 (easy pace, maybe too easy)
Loop2: 9:53.3 (Oops! I caught the boys on this loop)
Loop 3: 9:30.98 (Another oops. Now I'm getting tired)
Loop 4: 9:30.84 (Didn't have the stamina to pick it up, but at least I finished even. Stefan and Ben buried me on this one, finishing about 20 seconds ahead of me.)
Total time: 39:47 Next time I would start my first lap a little faster, and then stick to the progressions better. Hopefully next time I will finish stronger.
Bill and I ran one more perimeter loop for a cool down. 8 miles total. |
