Extra early morning.  Teren had to be at work by 7.  I warmed up 3 miles over to the track.  I ran 20 x 200 on/off.  They weren't spectacular.  I kept them between 39 and 40.  But, I was in trainers at 5 in the morning, so it was okay.  I could see the biggest difference in how long the jogs took in between.  It was a lot faster than last time I did a similar workout.  The total time for the 5 miles was 35:01.  I cooled down 3 miles after the workout.

I think the overall time for something like 12-20x200 is more important than what the fast splits are. I usually can tell that when I'm getting in better shape, the fast portions don't get all that much faster, but I end up running the recovery 200s a lot quicker and the total time drops quite a bit.
