Today was an absolutely amazing, breakthrough workout. I did 16x400 all within 77-79 seconds with 2 at 80. I had equal recovery between each 400, and totaled my time at the end which ended at 4 miles in 20:57 or 5:14 pace! Now granted I had breaks between each of those so its not like I ran a 20:57, but the principal here is that I maintained throughout and had a very uptempo workout. In fact, my times go faster throughout. The first "mile" was 5:18, then it went 5:15, 5:13 and 5:11 respectively. Thus, I pushed throughout the workout. I am definitely running the 5k this weekend instead of the 10 miler. Wanna see what I can get and hope that this workout is a good indicator of a great 5k this weekend, maybe even a PR!
