I ran a mostly easy run today, but I threw in a couple 400's just to practice going fast. The first "400" was uphill and into a decent headwind, and since I didn't have any marks measured out to get an exact distance, I just ran for 70 seconds. I imagine that it was a little short, but the effort and the time were what I was looking for, so no worries. I turned around at 5 miles (36:25) and I took it pretty easy on the way back hitting 10 miles in 1:14:02 (37:37 second half). I wanted to run one more 400 that was actually measured, so I went over to the track and ran one last 400 in 64 seconds. I was shooting for a 62, but it was still really windy so I figure that minus the wind the time would have been about right. I ran home after that, and finished what I will call 10.75 miles in 1:19:06. |
