Another New Workout

Workout: Tempo Interval Workout: 4-5 x 2000 meters with 2 minutes 30 seconds recovery jog

Tonight was another new kind of workout.  Tempo Intervals.  Basically you warm up and then run 2000 meters (1.25 miles) at a fast pace a few times with a short recovery jog between each interval.  I started at a 7:55/m pace for the first interval and then worked my way down to 7:35.  Holy crap!  That was hard.

I was soaking wet by the time I was done, but boy did I feel like I got in a great workout.  I only did 4 intervals, but that was mostly because I was pressed for time.  I think I could have done another one, but had to get to a meeting.  

I’ve started doing the math in my head, and this is going to be a big mileage week.  Maybe 50 miles… I love it!  Bring it on!

8 miles/1:07:00/Avg 8:22
