Another solid speed sesh today! 1.5 mile warmup, then I did a ladder of 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m and then back down. I hoped to do the 2's and 4's at 2-3 seconds faster than mile pace, and the 8's and mile at 2-3 seconds faster than 3200 race pace. I hit 39, then 88 (a little slow), then 2:59. The mile was hard, but I came out with a 6:03, which I was happy with seeing as 6:05 is 2-3 seconds faster than race pace. On the way back down, I hit 3:03, 88 again, and 38. The ladder back down was really hard for me, my legs were so tired. So my splits weren't all perfect today but they were solid and I was honestly just proud of myself for finishing through strong with the workout because I had a few different ladders in mind for today that were easier that I could have done instead. I'm glad now that I picked this one though.
2.25 mile cool down and stretching afterwards.
