Ran 6.5 miles total today with 6X800 meter speed workouts. My times were as follows: 2:25, 2:28, 2:29, 2:33, 2:33, 2:32. I am happy that I managed to keep my times relatively close together, but I was "unhappy" with the pace that I ran them. Usually I manage to get one of the 800 meter sprints in under 2:20. There was some slight wind, however, which felt like it may have slowed me down a bit. This would account for me not breaking the 2:20 mark. I ran 400 meter recoveries between each interval at 8:00 min pace. I was not looking forward to this workout, mainly because speed stuff is so boring and painful, but at least now I am done for a while! |
