More of the short sweet stuff. "Sweet" meaning intense. Thought up this particular session last night thinking it would be best to hit the faster paces again. Sticking to the swimming rest interval idea, I thought it would be doable to run the 600s on 4 minutes (i.e. about 2:10 rest) and the 300s on 2 minutes (a bit less than 70 second recoveries). Recognized intellectually that the turnaround after each 300 would be tough but actually experiencing it was another matter. Although to be fair the first lap of the first 600 felt flat enough that extending the rest after the 300s might not have made much difference. If nothing else it forced me to measure out the effort a little bit more. Originally had planned on running the 600s around 1:50 but that plainly wasn't happening, but 300s were mostly dead on. Following an 8+ minute break after the last 300 that included a brief bit of rolling on the right TFL and putting on spikes I threw in a standalone 400. Trying to bear down without digging a tunnel into the track. Before the workout I thought I might be able to hit something under 65 but instead it was 67, evenly split and not the least bit surprising. This has to be 800 pace I should think. Alas, getting old sucks for sure. Splits:
1:52.3
53.0
1:52.0
53.0
1:51.8
52.3
1:51.5
