AG Mini-Workout

Time: 57:14
Distance: ~7.2 miles

W/u: 31:02 for ~3.6 miles
W/o: 8 x 200m w/ 200m jog.
C/d: 13:27 for ~1.6 miles

This evening Meagan and I jogged over to the track at Alexander Graham to meet up with Dean Otto who was doing a workout. We ran his warm up too on a two mile loop around Myers Park HS back to the track. There was a lacrosse game being played which made the backstretch a little chaotic on the rest sections.

Splits:
(60) 33.02, (60) 32.17, (61) 31.10, (62) 31.89,
(66) 31.68, (67) 31.62, (68) 32.05, (66) 30.89 for 12:45 total and 2 miles

The 200s were more like glorified strides that I actually timed. I felt good but recognize this isn't a particularly impressive workout. If all goes well I'll run 16 x 200 averaging 29-31 keeping the rest at 50-60 seconds. Looking back on the rest splits I see that I was fatiguing rapidly in order to maintain the same pace. I'll take it for where I'm at in my training now, but give me another few months to turn things around.
