Track workout completed
Is it really October? It was pretty warm this morning, but the humidity was incredible. I don't think any of us sweat like that all summer. The fog was rolling in halfway through the session and it felt more like swimming than running.
Today's workout was 2x(6x400) at 5k minus 40 seconds with a 90 second rest between the intervals and a 2:30 rest between the sets. Here are my splits and heartrate at the end of the interval.
400 -- 1:31 166
400 -- 1:31 169
400 -- 1:29 171
400 -- 1:28 172
400 -- 1:30 172
400 -- 1:31 173
400 -- 1:33 171
400 -- 1:32 173
400 -- 1:32 172
400 -- 1:31 174
400 -- 1:29 175
400 -- 1:29 176
We did the normal 1-mile warm-up before and after the session. The total distance was the same as last week (6x800), but doing so many intervals seemed pretty tough.
I told the guys I'm going to roll out my favorite marathon track session in a couple of weeks. The alternating pace 10,000. Alternating laps between 5k pace and marathon pace for 25 laps. Are we having fun yet?
