I mapped out and kicked off my 5K speed training this week. I took 2 different PR programs which are 8 weeks each and turned them into one 4 week program.
There are 2 tracks on campus. One run down old one which I always went to and the sweet one Athletics currently uses. I never knew where the new track was so I asked around and went there. It was beautiful. I don’t know if I was “allowed” to run there, but it was empty and I ran anyway.
I did 2 warm up laps and then were going to run 6 laps (400m) at full speed with recovery laps in between. I was hoping for about 2 minutes and my first lap was 2:00.4 which I was really plased with. My laps varied from 2:03.4 to 2:00.1 (which was my last timed lap). I wish I could have cracked 2 minutes, but I’m pleased none the less. I look forward to weekly timed 400s.
I’m headed out on a 5 miler in a bit on this BEAU-tiful day.
