Notes
Fun times today. We did some 800s at the arb. We were going to do it on the normal course loop but there was a meet, so we just did it in the back section of the course. Our route was a little longer than an 800 - ~.53 mile, so about an extra 5-10 seconds, it dont matter.
4x800 @ TP w/ 1' recovery and 3x800 at RP w/ 2:30 recovery
The goal was to do 6 and if we felt good we'd hit one last one. The threshold 8's were a breeze, just tucked behind Payton and Justice and pushed when they were lagging. Tyler fell back to the second group because of the heat after 3. I felt like I could do the 6:00-6:10 pace all day which makes me happy because that tells me things are coming around. Race pace was a tougher adjustment, mainly because of the heat. The sun really started smiling down on us on the last 3. Felt good though. A little bit faster on each one. Justice hit 2:45 on the last one.
First workout I've held with the top group this season. S'bout time, still don't quite have that next gear, not sure if I will get there training for a marathon though.
