Awesome workout today!! I hit or went under on all my splits. Started with a 1.5 mile warm up, strides, drills.
2x200m fast but not all out w/ 200m reco jog between: I hit 35, 37.
800m @ 2-3 seconds slower than mile race pace (2:51-52): I hit 2:49, which is my mile race pace.
800m @ mile race pace: 2:49 again.
3x300m @ mile race pace (64-65) with a 100m reco jog between: 62, 61, 61
3x200m @ 800m race pace (38-39) with a 100m reco jog between: 38, 38, 35
1.75 mile cool down and stretching afterwards. I had such a good time with this. I kept expecting myself to get really tired and not be able to hit the next split honestly, but then I kept surprising myself. I felt like the rest time between sets (3-5 minutes) was very forgiving, so that may have helped with me hitting or going under on all my splits. If I do this workout again sometime I might modify that to a little less. The weather was also wonderful today! Pretty windy but other than that, I was running right at sunset and I just couldn't stop thinking about how blessed I am to be able to do what I do.
