Interval Training – Oct 15, 2008

Since I woke up late and had to get to work early, again I missed my morning run but got back early in the evening and made it to the school track at 6:15 pm. The track (the one I run on is synthetic) is much easier on your feet and there are no hills. So, this is a good place to try to improve your speed. As I blogged earlier, I am following the FIRST program (http://www.furman.edu/first/fmtp.htm) for the tempo and track runs. Here is a breakdown of the runs that I did today on the track.

Warm up Easy 1 mile: 9 min

Interval Speed 2 miles : 14 min 40 sec

Interval Speed: 800m : 3 min 35 sec

Interval Speed: 800m : 3 min 30 sec

Cool Down Easy 2.5 miles: 23 min

Here are the stats from the GPS watch:
