Warm up to the track 3.25 miles.  4 x 200  strides.  Lots of high schooler dodging today.  The gym teacher is awesome and tells them to stay out of lane one.  But, high schoolers can be a little dense, so I almost ran a few over.  I ran up on one and he uttered a nice expletive at me.  So, the workout may have been a touch off.  I don't care too much.  It is their track.

 

5 x 1000 at 3:30 with 400 recovery.  I'm pretty dialed in to marathon effort, so 5k pace was pretty tough.  

3:30, 3:29, 3:30, 3;28, 3:26.  (Looks short after 12!)  That should make 6:10-6:13 pace much easier.    

1.5 mile cooldown.  Taper on . . . 

Same workout pre-St. George 2013:  3:27, 3:38, 3:37, 3;38, 3;38  Disclaimer:  It was REALLY windy that day.   But, still . . .
