Embry Riddle Track
Wanted to get in some speed work with the mile track race coming up this weekend so I went over to Embry Riddle and did 800 (800rec); 4X400 (200rec); 4X200(200 rec) in 1:58; 61,61,60, 61; 29, 29, 28, 28. I was just hoping to hit 2:00-2:03 on the 800 so when I cruised to a relatively easy 1:58 I was pretty pleased. It's a fast mondo track and I'm looking foward to running what I think can be a fast mile time this weekend on it. Today's workout has me thinking I can run a lot faster in the mile than what I thought a few days ago. Hopefully the early pacing is good and I can finish strong. That type of speed for a full mile is something I haven't attempted since 2004. Literally, I haven't raced anything shorter than a 5k since 2004. But at least now I've got some confidence in what I can do. |
