New workout tonight…. It’s hard!

Workout: Cruise Interval Workout: 6 to 8 times 1000 meters

Arg… So the basic premise is you are suppose to warm up for a couple of miles and then do 6 to 8 1000 meter laps at about a 7:30 pace. For those of you playing the home game, 1000 meters is about 2-1/2 laps around the track or just over half a mile.

I’m not sure if it was the fact that this was all new to me, or perhaps I didn’t eat as well as I should have throughout the day. I kind of blew off my mid afternoon snack which may have contributed.

Anyway they were very hard. I ended up only doing 4. I’ll try to do more next time..

Lap 1: 6:25/m pace
Lap 2: 7:07/m pace
Lap 3: 6:39/m pace
Lap 4: 6:26/m pace

Upon further review perhaps I ran most of my laps too fast. I’ll have to figure out a better way to establish the pace.

6.06 miles/52:50/Avg 8:43
