AM... [Q] 10.9 miles (1:12:07). W/u to Viewmont HS plus 800m of speed builds. The weather was pretty decent during the warm-up and first set of 1200-400, but then started to get nasty in a hurry. Rain/sleet/snow mix for most of the workout and wind picked up to about 15-20mph on the backstretch. The workout was 4x(1200-400) w/200m recovery after 1200's and 600m recovery after 400's. Considering how crappy the weather was, I was very happy with the
workout and stayed right on my goal pace (5:20 pace for 1200's, 4:48
for 400's). Workout splits were as follows... 1200 #1 - 4:00 400 #1 - 72 1200 #2 - 4:01 400 #2 - 72 1200 #3 - 3:59 400 #3 - 72 1200 #4 - 4:00 400 #4 - 72 Legs could definitely feel effort on last couple 400's. Cooled down 800m at the track and then c/d back home. I was very pleased with the workout since I stayed right on the splits I wanted to hit--even more so because of the dreary conditions.
