Intervals @ Leary

 2 x 800  : (2:52, 2:57)

2 x 1600  (6:09 oops!, 5:58)

2 x 800  (2:56, 2:51)

@ 5K pace throughout, with 400 jog recovery. 


As a pacing exercise, this was an obvious fail, as I was all over the map. But I felt good about recovering strong from the third interval after messing it up. My 800s were pretty symmetric going up and coming down. 

Cool early fall morning with no-one in Lane 1. Ideal conditions.

4x1600 @ Leary

 Cool, pleasant morning with some early fog. 

 4x1600m with 400m jog recovery, 8 miles total.

 5:57, 6:05, 6:04, 6:08

 I felt more limited by the neuromuscular system than the cardiovascular system today. Started to feel a bit rubbery on the last interval. As always, returning to the track is doing me some good, though. I can feel my morning jogs getting easier. Funny how even a jog seems hard if it's the fastest you ever go.

4 x 1200 @ Leary

Clear, cool, early fall morning. Shadows retreated down the back 100 with every lap as the sun rose. 

4x1200 in: 4:25, 4:26, 4:27, 4:26

with 400m jog recovery. 

I probably have a <6:00 pace 5k in me. I'm going to sign up for a couple of fall races and find out.

Hill Repeats In Prospect Park

 3x hill repeats, Prospect Park South entrance. measured from first vehicle gate to 2nd vehicle gate (inner posts on both sides).

1:46, 1:45, 1:45. 

Man, that's a gut buster. The 2nd pitch is steep enough that there's not much difference between me running it, and me running it full-out. Felt like jello after the1st one. Couldn't have asked for a nicer spring morning, though!
