I’ve been working on speed work for quite awhile thanks to my stellar new treadmill. However, since the weather has been getting nicer, I have been joining up with the Tulsa Running Club on Tuesday nights for their weekly track workout as a part of my regular training regimen. Couldn’t have asked for a better night! The temps at 70° were perfect for an outdoor workout.
Here’s tonight’s workout and our target paces for each:
Here’s how we did:
1600m was pretty much on the money.
Our 800m was definitely on the money.
You’ll note the variation in time between the first 400m (above) and the second 400m (below). We were initially informed by our running coach that our target for the 400 was 1:50. When we finished the second lap, he told us 1:55 was actually our target.
Having exceeded our target again by the end of Lap 3, we concluded that we all must be a group of overachievers.
And because we are a group of overachievers, we figured one more lap just for good measure.
Not bad for a group of overachievers.
What did you do today to workout? Did you take it outside or hit the gym?
