Training – Thu, Jan 22 – Speedwork
The plan this morning was to do five miles overall, including two 1600 meter speed drills at a 6:22 pace, with an 800 meter jog in between.
Plan fulfilled and I focused on running form throughout. I noticed I had to pay a little more attention to my form during the second 1600 meter block. The speed work was from mile 2 to mile 3, and mile 3.5 to mile 4.5.
Mile 1: 8:10
Mile 2: 8:00
Mile 3: 6:18 (1600 meters – speed block)
Mile 3.5: 4:03 (800 meters – recovery)
Mile 4.5: 6:21 (1600 meters – speed block)
Mile 5: 3:59 (800 meters – recovery)
Cool Down.
