2 mile warm-up, 2 mile cool-down, 6x800 with 400 up a steep hill and 400 back down, then 2x800 gently sloping down for the first 800 then back up for the second 800. I only kept my time on the last two 800s. I think it was 3:10, 3:21.
The downhill was a challenge in a different way than I expected. I thought keeping up intensity after going up my quarter mile hill would just wear my lungs out. But my real problem was getting my legs to turn over fast enough so that I could feel like my heart and lungs were still working. On the third or fourth downhill I tried to give myself a rhythm for my legs by saying "turn, turn, turn" at the pace I wanted to plant my feet. I think I'll work on that even harder the next time I do the workout. I'm guessing I should also try to start throwing in some 100 meter pick-ups on easy days to teach my legs how to roll-over too. Things to do, things to do.
