Went to the oval today, my carpool was late so I only got 4 laps warmup 4 laps speed changes. I hurried to the line so that I could start with the group. Workout was 1000, 800, 2x400s, and 3x200s. When I saw them lining up at the 1000 mark I assumed it was the 5x1000 workout, so when I found out from Eleanor on the recovery what we were actually doing I was so happy, it's a much easier workout :) I was supposed to hit 5:20 pace for all of it (average pace from what we hit Saturday), so 3:26 for the 1000, 2:40 for the 800, 80s for the 400s, then the 200s we just opened up the stride. I hit right on for the 1000, 3:26, the 800 I slipped and hit 2:48, 400s were both 78, and the 200s were 33-36. The pace felt so much easier than on Saturday, it was weird. I just wish my 800 wasn't so slow. Cooled down 7 laps and I'm calling it 9.
