Yasso 800's! I have always wanted to try these out! I met Michelle and Dean at the track, and we did 3.2 miles of warm-up (including speed changes). Then we started the 800's--they felt hard, so I was thinking maybe we would do 4, but we did 6. By the end our legs were pretty tired, but we maybe could have done another 2? We were shooting for 3:30, and it was hard because there was a really strong south wind to contend with, plus all the sprinklers that we tried to dodge--they would totally soak us! So, with all that, here are the split times:
1: 3:31
2: 3:28
3: 3:24
4: 3:25
5: 3:28
6: 3:24
Woohoo! It was totally a confidence builder that we can run a 3:30 at St. George!
When we were done I ran another 1.5 miles with Michelle and Dean, then turned around and did my last mile totally into the wind, and I did an 8-minute mile. Got home and ran some more with Drew! |
