2 mile warmup with strides
Big Workout. As punishment for allowing myself to age yet one more year, I did a 400 meter repeat for every year old I am (31 as of today). The goal was to average 70 seconds per repeat. I varied the rest, starting at 70 seconds, then dropping slowly down to 61 seconds. I quickly realized there's a huge difference between 70 rest and 61, so I moved it back up to 70 and eventually 75 for the last five reps. Here are the splits: 71.6 66.8 68.7 71.3 70.2 70.2 68.9 69.9 69.2 69.0 69.7 70.4 72 69.8 69.2 72.2 (these 72s were when I lowered the rest to 61 second range) 70.6 70.1 68.2 70.4 69.9 68.6 69.2 70.8 69.3 70.1 68.8 69.6 70.5 70.0 and 67.0 Average: 69.7 Average Rest: 69.6
1 mile cooldown is all I had time for, as my family was waiting for me to go out to dinner.
I am happy with this workout; it's the second most 400 reps I've ever done. I had a hard time finding and locking into 70 pace for the first few.
I did the run in the afternoon heat and it was a bit rough. I weighed in this morning at 151.5 and after this afternoon workout I was 146, so I lost some serious water weight in this workout.
