400-METER REPS
I met Albert and Ben at Smiths and warmed up just over three miles including three strides to the Ogden High Track. We met Ken, Denver, Dave, Matt, and Tim there. The plan for me was to do 16 repeats at 69 average. But it was super windy out, a constant 10 MPH wind with gusts up the 30 MPH at times, so I was a little worried about finishing the workout on pace.
But I started anyway still shooting for 69s. It was definitely a tough workout and I thought about cutting it short after the first handful of reps, but I kept taking them one at a time and I ended up hitting 16 reps at a 68.8 avg (4:37/mile pace) with 300-meter jogs for rest in 1:31 average (8:08 pace). I'm very happy with the workout with that wind! Temps were amazing though in the low 60s.
