Outdoor 800's in spring...

Thursday morning:

Woke-up early to perfect interval running conditions as I needed to get in 6 by 800 meter repeats for the run today. Since I have all my distances calculated in our oval streeted neighborhood it very easy for me to run these precisely. After a mile warm-up I went right into the core of this workout...below are listed the details:

  1. 800m - 3:30 -AHR 133bpm - MHR 138bpm
  2. 800m - 3:29 -AHR 134bpm - MHR 143bpm
  3. 800m - 3:26 -AHR 137bpm - MHR 145bpm
  4. 800m - 3:30 -AHR 136bpm - MHR 145bpm
  5. 800m - 3:27 -AHR 138bpm - MHR 146bpm
  6. 800m - 3:25 -AHR 142bpm - MHR 151bpm

I felt good during the repeats and light in the DS13 Trainers as I was pretty consistant with my time but maybe to conservative as you can see I ran well on the last one, did I save to much energy in my body? Anyways after wards I ran a mile cool-down lap for a total distance covered of 5.6 miles in 49:02 with an average HR of 125bpm...

It was the last big speed workout before the Indy Mini half on May 2nd and felt good getting the job done right!
