Today I did 10 X 400 but I messed up my Ironman watch and only recorded six of them. I took Sasha's advice to see if I can do these faster by taking a longer interval between each repeat. 1. 78 (400m rest) 2. 82 (400m rest) 3. 83 (400m rest 4. 83 (800m rest) 5. 82 (800m rest) 6. 82 7-10 (data lost). Not that great... my biggest problem is I seem to get tired on the last 100m and I think I lose my running form. I know I tried pushing really hard on these six. On the 7-10 repeats I seemed to relax my form and tried to run more straight up, and I actually felt faster. The problem is I didn't realize I messed up on my Ironman watch to get these splits. Next time I'm going to use the Garmin. After the track work I did some MP miles. It seems if I relax my legs more I run faster with shorter strides. Something I'm definitely going to have to work on. I've only started doing track work since last November so I have a lot to improve on. Totals 13.22 miles at a 6:23 pace in 1:24. Run just a little bit at lunch.
