It was warm (70) and windy this morning. I ran over to the track to do some 400s today. I felt kind of sluggish in the warmup running over to the track and didn't know how the speedwork would go. I decided to stick with the plan and see how it turned out. I planned on running 12 x 400 in around 85 sec with equal recovery. After the 2.5 mile warmup I started the 400s and here are the splits:
1st - 83
2nd - 85
3rd - 86
4th - 84
5th - 83
6th - 85
7th - 83
8th - 84
9th - 84
10th - 85
11th - 84
12th - 85
It seemed like it took the first 3 or 4 to get going. After that I settled into a good groove but then the last 3 I could really feel it in my legs. My legs were starting to feel like jelly. I think it was a good pace and just the right number of repeats. I don't think I could have done much more and stayed on pace. I am enjoying the track workouts and feel like they are starting to make a difference. I think in a few weeks I would like to run a 5k or 10k and see if it translate into a race.
