Today I went over to Sugarhouse park and did a speed workout. I started with a lap warm up and then I stretched. I did 2 100 progressive strides to open up the legs and stride out. Then we walked over to the 400 hill. The workout was 4 400s with a 400 recovery. I really wanted to average at a 5:20 mile so I needed to do 80 seconds for each. My first time was 80 seconds and I was not that tired so I wished I pushed harder on that one. I jogged back down to the start and started again. My times went as followed: 80, 81, 84 so I did a 5:25 mile, just a bit slow than I wanted but the track is not uphill, it is flat so I know I can run the 5:20 on the flat track by the start of out door season. Then I just did a 600 meter cooldown and went home and stretched while watching American Idol. |
