Warmups, the form mile, then a little over a mile of warmup. First speed workout! It was hard. We did 2x1 mile with 1 minute recovery, 2x800s with 2 minutes recovery, and 4x400s with 3 minutes recovery. It was really hard for me because in high school recovery was opposite of that with more recovery for the longer speed and shorter recovery for shorter stuff. It was definitely a change! It was on grass, coach measured it out and incorporated a small hill into it, and it actually ended up being long. Each lap was about .01 longer, a little more maybe. Anyway, on the first one I was 3:11 at the half and finished with 6:19 or 6:02 for the mile. Second one I was not prepared for so little recovery so mentally it was tough, mile was 6:31 finished with 6:52. That was rough. 800s were 3:20 and 3:21 for .53, and 400s were 87, 89, 88, 89 for .26ish. Times were slow because of the grass and hill, and I wore my trainers. Then cooled down a mile and took a 15 minute nap in the training room before class.
