Did warmup to the track, then 4x200m strides at ~6:40 pace, then CV repeats 4x1000m with 1 min. jog recovery between. This time Garmin was working perfectly, and I switched it to metric units so I could measure exactly where 1000m ends. Turns out last week I did run a bit too short, but only by 10-15 m, no more. The goal was 4:36, and my splits were 4:32, 4:31, 4:32, 4:32. I felt pretty good - it was pretty hard effort, but I could maintain it without going overboard.
Afterwards, did 4x100m strides at ~6:20-6:30 pace and jogged home. |
