After a 10 mile tempo run yesterday morning, I decided to just get the Interval run out of the way today evening. While the tempo run is hard on my legs because of the reinforced concrete track, the interval runs are on a track which is not so hard on the legs. The best place to increase the speed is on a track. Today's track run was supposed to be 3 sets of (2x1200) with a 2 minute break between the 1200m runs and 4 minute breaks between the sets. Here are the times for the warm up, track run and the cool down:
Warm up Easy 1 mile – 8m 55sec
1200 m – 5m : 18sec
1200 m – 5m : 36sec
1200 m – 5m : 45sec
1200 m – 5m : 40sec
1200 m – 5m : 29sec
1200 m – 5m : 36sec
Cool Down Easy 0.85 miles: 8 m
The relative slower times (compared to last Track run) are because of the high wind factor forcing me to reduce the pace for about 600m. The reason for the relative slower third and fourth 1200m is because of some water fountain that sprinkled water on a part of the track that forced me to run on grass for about 150m and that slowed me down a bit.
Here are the average stats from the GPS:
