Speed work tonight. Tried to do it at the club house. But there was a gal on the treadmill already. So decided to give the track another go. Haven't had much success running on it the last 2 times. But have done some research on tracks and what all those crazy lines means. So felt a bit more comfortable tonight running on it. There was a storm brewing so wanted to get in the workout before it got to ugly. Had a strong wind for half of it and tail wind for the other half way through the workout. Last 2 times I have had trouble figuring out my watch to get what I am wanting. And also not going out to fast and dieing on the first lap. This time I started to figure out the watch a lot better after my 2nd interval. So didn't get a accurate measure. But did for the next ones. As for the first few intervals I was struggling at the end and lost steam. After the first interval I jogged the rest. After that 2nd one I went and walked instead. And felt much better and ready to go for the walking instead of jogging. And each interval after seemed to have improved. Warm-up 2 miles Mile 1 8:56 Mile 2 8:06 1200m 4:46 13 sec off 1000m 5:29 had 200m jog added 800m 3:16 18 sec off 600m 2:21 8 sec off 400m 1:26 1 sec fast 1 Mile colddown 8:41 Didnt hit my paces very well. But feeling better running on the track. The wind threw me off some again and its different running around the curves. Looking forward to next weeks run again on the track.
