I didn't run to school today because of the holiday yesterday (I had no food or clothes there so I couldn't run). Instead, I drove to school and then ran there. I ran about 4.5 miles as a warm up, and then went over to the track. I got lucky today, as there was only minimal wind (it helps that the track is built to minimize the wind). I ran intervals of 2400, 1600, and 800m with 800 recovery between intervals. I kept the first interval fairly relaxed and finished it in 7:52, recovery was about 3:40, followed by the 1600 in 5:04. Again, recovery was about 3:40, but I stopped to fix my shoelaces so it was really more like 4:30ish. I ran the last interval all out in 2:12 with 200 splits of 31, 33, 34, 34. I was fairly pleased with the 800, but I was hoping to break 2:10. I do realize that I had just run two and a half miles of intervals and I kept the recovery brisk, so I guess I really can't expect too much (especially seeing that I only have an 800 pr of 2:07). After finishing the intervals I ran one last mile on the track before running back to the lab where I work to finish up 10 miles for the day. PM: I didn't get enough sleep last night, and this mornings workout took more out of me than I thought it would, so I scrapped the run I had planned for the evening. |
