Tonight was the last of the Wednesday evening track trainings at Scottsdale Community College with Coach Dave. Our Team-D ranks are getting thin, down to 5 of us, and I hope everyone is just busy with holiday and life stuff and not hurting.
We ran 6 sets of 8oom runs- each two lap set done so we increased the speed every 1/2 lap, and trying to get consistent times for each set. The trick is starting out slow enough to leave room to accelerate!
The 2 minutes of rest went by way to quick, but I felt as strong in the legs as I have ever ben, and had all my times betweem 4:29 and 4:38.
At least up front Dave told us how many sets there would be, so there would not be the repeated series of “One more!”
I’ve learned a lot doing these track runs, and I would have never done this sort of speed and pace work on my own.
Next Wednesday is the morning where I wil do the longest team run, a 12 miler.
