Loved our workout today! Well, now that it's done anyways. Actually no I really did like it for the majority of it. Anyways! 2 mile warm up on the trails, then we got back to the track and got right into it. Basically it was 4 miles continuously, but broken up into 600m 5k race pace (2:19) followed by 1000m "steady", aka like tempo pace (4:30). Which would be 6:49 average mile pace. We hit 2:18 for all of the 600's if I remember right, and actually ended up averaging like 6:30 something (my watch said 6:24 but that can't be quite accurate because we started and stopped at the same line, after 16 laps, and it said 4.2 miles instead of 4 so it must be a tad fast). 6:30 something for 4 miles, I'm pretty siked about that. Did 4 hundred-ish meter strides afterwards, and then a 15 minute cool down.
Coach Harris said Breck and I are in the 5k at ETSU on Friday! I think good things are in store - I am feeling a lot more mentally tough and probably physically faster too than 3 weekends ago when we ran there. Hopefully another sub-20 coming up???
