Week 14 Key Run #1

Today's goal:
  • 10 minute warm-up
  • 10 x 400 (400m RI)
  • 10 minute cool-down
I was rather pressed for time as I had scored some free tickets to the Giants at A's Exhibition game, so I had to alter the workout to have approximately 2:00 RI instead of 400m. Since I walk my RIs, this is about half the time it would take me to do 400m. I guess sometime I should buck up and job my RIs, but not this season.

After 8 x 400, I decided I needed to get going and I would just run 2 more 2-minute interval paces on my way home. Never as good as the track, but satisfactory.

However I am now more convinced that the track is not really 400m. NikePlus is clocking it at about 0.2 miles currently, although it was clocking four laps at 0.9 miles earlier. So I'm running my laps in approximately 1'50" but I'm guessing I'm not really pushing myself enough.
