Medium Workout #1

Jogged half a mile up the hill to the Fieldhouse, then did another half mile warmup

4x800 m (400 m rest between intervals, along with a half mile warm up and cool down on the track before and after)

Goal was to get as close to 5:00 pace as possible and maintain for as long as possible up to 4 repeats. Here are my splits:

2:32

2:35

2:40

2:35

Didn't actually hit 5:00 pace, but I am satisfied with what I was able to do.  This was kind of a test to see what I am capable of speed-wise.  With more practice this will get easier.  My goal now is to run at least one speed/pace workout every week, even if it's not technically a "Big Workout."

Finished with a loop out by Macey's and back. Running outside the Fieldhouse totaled 8.6 miles.

58:57 (6:51/mi.)
