Speed Week II

Ran tonight. It’s still Speed Week! (or …Weeks! since this is the second one) so I’m still doing track intervals and stuff like that.

Today was track intervals — 1.4 miles to warm up (and get to the track), then alternate single laps (400 meters) at better than an 8:00 pace with walking fast/jogging for 2-3 minutes, then run home. Here’s my times for each stage:

  • Warm up run — ~15
  • Lap 1 — 1:49
  • Lap 2 — 1:53
  • Lap 3 — 1:42
  • Lap 4 — 1:52
  • Cool down run — ~17:30

My best lap was around a 6:50 pace; my worst lap was around a 7:34 pace. My warmup time = 12:30. My cool-down time = 10:42. Yay, me! Total mileage (including my fast walking laps) is 4.8 miles.
