Went to the track to attempt a 8 x 200 workout. Wasn't sure what pace to expect so just went with what felt doable. All repeats ended up being around 45s give or take 1 second, or right around 6 min pace. In between each repeat I walk/jogged 200. It didn't kill me but I was pretty tired afterward. Was pretty nervous doing short/fast intervals like this that I might pop my hamstring or something else but so far it seems I survived.
