I wanted to get in some speed work tonight to get the engines roaring to burn Thanksgiving Day calories tomorrow. I headed out to the track. Warmed up for 1 mile. Then did 4x1200, then 3x800, then 2x400 all with a 200m walk in between.

Splits:

1200s: 4:26, 4:29, 4:25, 4:27

800s: 2:55, 2:56, 2:53

400s: 1:21, 1:19

I then did a little cool down. Total Workout 60:00, 7.75 miles, Avg pace 7:45

I am starting to enjoy these more creative track workouts. They're kind of fun and I feel good when I'm done.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm taking the kids, mine and my nieces on a hike tomorrow. That will be it for exercising. Then I'll go long on Fri to burn all those extra calories.

Nice workout Rhett!!!

I'm always confused about distances on the track. So is 400 meters ONE time around the inside lane of the track?

Yes, 1 lap on inside lane is 400m, 2 800m and therefor 3 1200m. Conntrary to popular belief 1600m (4 laps) is not actually a full mile. It is about 10 yards short of a mile. If you go to your track your see a line on the track about 10 yards before the line with #1 on it. If you start at that line and run 4 full laps plus that little bit, then you have run a full mile.

Thanks for that info Rhett....How about that, all those years I thought I was running a full mile on the track.
