1,000 METER REPS

I met Jon, Albert, and Jason at the pond and warmed up 3.25 miles together to include strides. Then we got into our workouts, with basically everyone doing something different. Jon did 400s, Albert did a 5-mile tempo, and Jason and I did 1000s.

My goal was to average 3:02-3:03 pace or basically 4:52 pace for ten reps. I ran them around the pond which is just over a mile long. So not all reps are equal. The backside of the pond loop is ever so slightly uphill and into a slight headwind, while the front side has opposite conditions. So some reps were almost all in good or bad conditions and some were about half and half. But the effort was basically the same for the reps except I picked the last one up a bit. Rest was 75 seconds.

Splits: 3:03.7 2:59.7 3:02.1 2:59.7 2:57.3 3:02.7 2:58.5 2:59.0 3:02.3 and 2:50.8 for a 2:59.5 avg or 4:48-4:49 pace.

I am really happy with the workout and not just the pace. The pace was good, but it's been awhile since I felt this good hitting a workout. I felt I could've held pace for 15 reps. Hopefully this bodes well for Big Sur.

I'd say it bodes well. I could barely finish 5 this week. Nice work.
