We're still in Glen Rose (going to Dinasour State Park), and staying in an RV park so I went to the local High School track. I needed to run some faster pace miles so I decided to do this sequence: Warm-up for a half mile, run 1 mile at about 6:15 pace, walk 400 meters, then repeat for a total of 6 miles. I think this was a good workout because I felt like I was pressing myself pretty hard to maintain on the last two miles. I don't think I could have done it much harder! Here's the results:

Nice workout, you were really moving. I never thought about walking inbetween repeats, but I can see where it would let you keep up the fast turnover for more miles...I might have to steal that idea!

I love your bible verse today, that could be the theme of my running life so far.

Hey Turbo Joe

I just made up the workout. I want to get use to running a faster pace so I know what it feels like. Don't really know if its a good way or not but I enjoyed the challenge. I think I set my goal just about right since I was pretty spent at the end. I may try it again at a shorter distances but fastrr.

That verse is too true about so many things!

Ahhhhh...I'm almost embarased to say this but I made a mistake and said I walked 400 meters between each mile...I actually only walked 200 meters (1/2 lap)...you would think I would know the difference after running for a year! Now you have an idea why I say I JUST RUN.. !

Nice mile repeats and not even close to HR max.

Just something to keep in mind - the garmin auto lap / pace does not work well around a track. For my 1200m repeats the garmin said my pace was 10 seconds faster than it actually was. I had to use a pace calculator to come up with the correct number. Since you ran a mile your pace time should be correct though if you went by the manual lap feature.

Great workout! I've been meaning to go to the track this week. You have motivated me now. I'm going to go and try the workout you did here.

I love Glen Rose!! And nearby Granbury. So much to do. That drive-thru animal park is awesome! I guess you're there for the road race 10k.
