Met up with Steve and Michelle today for some early morning speed work. The plan was to run for 2 min at a 5:30ish pace and then jog for 1:30 and then start the 2 min pace again, and do this 6 times. This was a first for me doing this kind of work out. It was a good work out, I felt that it helps your body react to different speeds? Then after those were complete we were going to run 1 mile @ or below 5:55 and then rest for 3 min and then do it again. The splits are below for each set that we ran. I forgot my watch again so I am copying what Michelle had typed on her blog. She keeps better records and she can make it look so much better. It has been great having Steve come with us, he can really make us stay on pace and can even make us duck below where we want to be.
