Track Workout

Time: ~59:19
Distance: ~9 miles

Woke up early to hit the track while the wind was a non-factor. Tom texted me with the workout: 4 x 300 (hard), 200 (easy), 300 (hard) with 4 minutes rest between intervals. He wanted the combined time for the 800 (300,200, 300) to be 2:25. I figured if I could run 50, 45, 50, I would be doing well.

W/u from Campus Lodge to the track, dropped off the shoes and continued through campus. Made it an easy 22:31 minutes. As I marked the 100m with cones I did a few drills, ran some strides and changed into flats. Hit splits of:
800 #1 - 47.75, 44.90, 47.68 = 2:20.33 (400m jog in ~2mins, stand around 2mins)
800 #2 - 46.73, 45.55, 46.82 = 2:19.10 (same)
800 #3 - 46.40, 44.82, 46.20 = 2:17.42 (same)
800 #4 - 45.60, 45.93, 44.13 = 2:15.66 (same)

Felt pretty solid for the whole thing. The lengthy rest made it manageable and the fact that it was overcast (though it was still a bit humid). Now that the weather is decent, hitting the times isn't as hard as it was 4 weeks ago. C/d back to the Lodge in 21:47.
