AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Same old.
PM - 5.5 miles. 600 at 800 goal pace (2:04 800 = 1:33 600), Full Recovery (about 15 min), 300s at current 800 pace (2:08 800 = :48 300) with 1-2 min recovery. We ended up doing 6x300 (I think). Coach didn't tell us how many we were doing, he just told us to keep doing 300s until he said we could be done. He also gave us a quick 5 min break after 4. Tough workout. It's getting really hot here in St. George and this was just overall a tough workout. The 600 was about 1:34 so that was pretty good but I started to tighten up a lot towards the end. That's my biggest problem with the 800 is I always tighten up. Got to work on staying relaxed. 300s were very good, hit my times good and got a few quicker ones in there. Great workout to show how much strength I have.
Controversial Topic of The Day - What should be your pace on easy runs? I've always wondered how fast or how slow easy runs should be. I usually like to keep it a bit slower but since I run with my team most of the time, we go a bit faster. Comment how fast you think easy runs should be or what pace you go on easy runs.
