In this post I would like to briefly summarize my most recent workout, in the hopes that it gives a good snapshot of my current abilities, and where I hope they will progress to.
We started our Monday workout with 2x 400m at an even, steady, race-pace. This means that we are running about at our mile split times that we hope to hold during the race. For me, this was around 7:30, so for the 400s, I was aiming for 1:50. Then, we ran 1 mile as fast as we could. I ran mine in 6:40. We then ran 1 800m as fast as we could. I ran a 3:03. We then finished the workout with 2 more 400s, with whatever speed we had left. For me that was running them in 93 seconds.
We had this workout on Monday so that we had enough time to recover before our Friday meet. Our Tuesday-Wednesday runs consisted of 4.5 mile runs, and Thursday’s practice was just 35 minutes of running with drills. With this schedule, and making time to stretch and roll out our muscles, we would be all set for our meet.
