73F.  Short interval day - went down to the track for 12 x 400, knowing it would probably still be under construction...it was.  So, reset the watch for 0.25 mile laps and did 12 x .25 miles, with 1-minute recovery jogs.  Naturally, it seemed like every repeat started at the bottom of a big hill, and every good downhill was wasted during the recovery minute.  My goal was to average 1:26 (goal 5K pace) but I only managed a 1:28 avg.  Maybe not too bad considering the terrain (splits ranged from 1:22 all the way to 1:38 depending on hills) but probably not as good as the 1:24 avg from the last time on the track.  I think the important thing is that I made sure to put forth the effort.  Just for grins, here are the splits - all over the place thanks to the stupid track being closed.

1:28, 1:26, 1:28, 1:34, 1:27, 1:26, 1:22, 1:25, 1:38, 1:27, 1:32, 1:23

I'm doing the same workout next week but luckily my track is open. I think 1:28 on the road is equivalent to 1:24 on the track!

Nice to see you doing intervals!! 12 x 400 with only 1 min recoveries ain't easy.

Great job on a tough workout. I bet I can guess which were uphill...
