It's been a while since I've set foot on the track. I have randomly done it over the course of my time here in Reston, but it'll be a bit more "regular" during the course of my training. I have to be cautious of over-training as I sometimes absorbed in the moment when I train, especially for speed work. You might call this "the zone". I now have the fever to run an open track meet, but that would probably be unwise...
I ran a ~1.5 mile warm-up, 5x800 meters with 1:30 rest, followed by a mile cool down. I decided to be overly ambitious and shoot for 3 minute (6 min/mile) intervals. Not only did I get them up to speed, but I ran too fast, clocking in at 2:55 for a pair of them. I might pay the price for this as I struggled to get the legs moving as I set out for my cool down. I think adding 10 seconds per interval, taking another 30 seconds rest, or both might have been wise. I'll know in the morning, but for now I am sore and ready for relaxation... Tomorrow's workout: Rest/Golf
