Track (Brookwood High School)
Run 4-5 x 800 meters (rest 3 minutes between intervals)
1. 3.06
2. 3.09
3. 3.10
4. 2.53
5. 2.57
Notes: Very strange results, here. My goal was to hold back at about 90% for the first interval and then really open things up on the second and third intervals. Unfortunately, I didn't really have a good sense of pacing. I attribute this mostly to the fact that I haven't run anything longer than 200 meter intervals in a long time. I feel like I got lost during the middle of these intervals and wasn't pushing the pace enough. I finally decided to just go all out on the fourth interval and it worked. I constantly pushed the pace past the point of comfort and it resulted in a much faster time. I did the same thing on the fifth interval, but didn't have the endurance to keep the legs churning. All in all, I'm satisfied with the times. The times just ended up a little backward. I would expect to go sub-2.50 on at least one interval next time and to keep the rest sub-3.00. Next running intervals will be 6 x 400 meters with 90 seconds of rest between sets -- should be rough!
