Track workouts at 5:30 a.m. are rough. I may try to get some in later in the day to see if there is a difference in how I feel. It also doesn't help that I was tossing and turning like crazy last night.
I warmed up 2.5 miles to the track and ran 4 x 200. I felt pretty good on the 200s. I couldn't see my splits on the workout, so I was running by feel. The workout was 1 x mile. 2 x 800 4 x 400. 400 recovery between the miles and 800s. 1:30 recovery between 400s.
mile: 5:46
800's 2:49, 2:50
400's: 79, 79, 79, 79. I'm nothing if not consistent.
I thought I would have been faster, but that's what came out. I'm hoping to see some good improvement over the next few months.
2.5 mile cooldown. My legs are tired.
