Went to Bingham High School and ran with the BBK group. we did a 3 mile warmup and then got to it on the track. 1x400 and 1200's times were 35 and 37

800 was 2:37

1000's were 3:17, 3:24, 3:20

I walked 200 yards in between for my rest. It ended up being close to 2:10.

Nice speed Walter!!! Does the walking in between as opposed to a longer slow jog help with the recovery? I've always jogged, but I had nasty lead legs this morning - so I just jogged 1 lap between each to get a longer 'rest'.

Nice speed work. You already have a good mile base this week.

Thanks Rachel. I like to try to catch my breath and then go again when I first start doing speed workouts. Longer rests are fine the key is to do more repeats with less rest. Then Ill be trying to keep up with you for sure!

Bec, thanks-you should have tried to make it. they are my favorite kick you in the can workouts! Have they put your email on yet?

I prefer walking altogether. I am a SLACKER.
