21F.  Down to the track today for 16 x 200m, with 200m jog recoveries.  The goal was my theoretical 1-mile pace, which I would round to a nice even 40 seconds/repeat.  I thought it might be tough to crank it down to that pace in the cold but it turned out not to be an issue.

Averaged 39.02s, which is about 5:14 AP; likely faster than I could run a mile but it's all a guess anyway.  Fastest was 36.7 (4:55 AP), slowest was 40.7 (5:27 AP).  Standard deviation of 1.02 seconds.  I had a lot of fun with Excel this morning.

A lot of times they would see-saw back and forth between 38 and 40; I could always tell in the last 50m if I had accidentally started out too fast; those were usually the 37-38s.  They would almost always be followed up with a 40.  Toward the end, they were more consistent.

Long, uphill "cooldown" back to my house, followed by some coughing and wheezing at home.

Nice job Joe! These workouts are mainly fun just for all the data you collect :-)

200s are awesome for working on turnover and speed. Nice workout!

Now this is the kind of workout I like :-) Wish I was there, except for the weather :-(

Well done, Joe. For me, its always tough to make intervals this short even paced. You did great!
