Last two track workouts

I had meant to post these last two fun track workouts for posterity. Ooops. Very late, but here they are:

Wed, Aug 12

Something called a "Michigan". I don't get it either - I'm not a track guy. Just give me some Texas 50's and I'll be fine!

The workout was:

1,600 @ 5K pace

1,200 a little faster

800 a little faster

400 a little faster

do 800 at "tempo" pace, no stopping for the whole run.

We did pretty well, but we were definitely slower than tempo pace for 800 in between each race effort. I still had a bit in the tank on that last 400, probably more than we were supposed to. Splits:

1,600 - 5:40

1,200 - 4:09

800 - 2:34

400 - 1:12

Wed, July 27

Still figuring out what this track stuff is all about. So, I pulled some recommendations from Daniel's and did:

4 x 1,200 with 4:00 easy jog in between

splits: 4:10, 4:09, 4:10, 4:10

Solid. Last one hurt pretty big.
