W/o: 8 x 400m w/ Tyler, 200m fast, 200m recovery
C/d: 19:26 for ~2 miles

Mr. Wichmann hit me up this morning wondering if I wanted to run a workout on the track. We planned to jog over to the AG and cut some shapes in the dark. It was good seeing other people out there as well and while the track was dark, it wasn't impossible to see or judge pace. He was going to run 8 x 400m in about 90 seconds or faster with about equal rest. I decided that to get a better workout, his rest would be my second lap of split 200s where I would run hard/easy.

Splits:
86.48, 32.12, (54.99),
86.00, 32.07, (51.94),
85.50, 32.88, (51.36),
85.81, 31.95, (50.62),
85.43, 32.65, (51.61),
83.69, 32.62, (50.06),
85.45, 31.74, (48.62),
81.56, 31.27, (50.36) for 22:26 total and 4 miles

I think both Tyler and I would agree the workout went well. The 400s were kept nice and even for him to pace off of me and then I followed with a hard 200m. Nothing too crazy fast, but just a long stride with a brisk recovery to pickup Tyler again. It was good having the responsibility of keeping the second lap (Tyler's rest) quick because had I slipped up, it would have effectively ruined his effort. I had to remain on point as ultimately this was his workout. We had a nice easy cool down back to the house and called it a night.
