36F. I ran on the longview high school track today which is probably at least as nice as the average college stadium. Roughly 5 mile warmup, then 9 x 800m @ 10k pace, 200m active recoveries. This is the 3 min on / 1 min off workout I go to when I need a workout but might not be at my best (see crappy last week of running). It went well today, and I was able to meet/exceed 10k pace without working too hard.
Avg repeat was 3:00. (3:02, 3:03, 3:02, 3:00, 3:00, 2:59, 3:00, 2:59, 2:54)
Had to drop that last one in there to bring the average down. I still like this workout; 800s at 10k pace are very reasonable, but the short rest keeps you moving (avg recovery was ~66 sec).
