Interval workout from Jack Daniels' marathon training program. 10x1000 at 3:00 minute pace (72 second/400). I hadn't gone this fast since college, and wasn't sure I could do it again. The recovery was 5 minutes in between each interval, but 72 pace is quick for me, especially alone, so I recruited George Barlow to come help me out. He was late as usual, and I knew he had to be somewhere, so he ended up only making 5 before he had to split. It sure was nice having him there though, even if it was for the easier 5. I found my groove on the 7th one finally, and kept them all at 3:00-3:02. Big confidence booster. |
