I did 8 x 400's this am with the goal to keep the pace below 90 and take a 90 second jog recovery in between laps. I still find it hard to do the speed work at 5:30 a.m. but it is the only time I have available to me.
Did the proper warm up and here are the splits:
1) 84 (to fast)
2) 87
3) 86
4) 89
5) 87
6) 91 (dying off now)
7) 86
8) 94 (just nothing left for speed)
Did a bit longer cool down and called it a morning for running. Despite the pollen and the asthma issues I was pretty pleased with the times except the last split. Just wasn't able to pull it out.
On a side note, last night I went and saw the Count Bassie Orchestra and they were wonderful. I just love the big band jazz music live. They are really worth seeing if you get a chance.
Enjoy the day everyone.

I'm going to start doing 400s and 600s for speedwork in preparation for my upcoming mile race...that's about the time frame that I think I want them in. How hard does that feel?? :)
I don't know about doing speedwork that early in the morning. Body too tired.
That looks like a good workout - I'll have to try it sometime.
Good luck with the move - hope all's going ok on that front.

I really miss speedwork.
Sigh.....
Glad to see you're tearing it up for me. I am very much looking forward to hitting the track when I can again...

Well, if you average out your times, you hit your goal. I say that's good enough for speedwork at 5:30 freaking AM!
