Notes

200 jog between everything (60-64sec)

So again, went to the HS to run with Taylor and Parker and Tyler. Parker and Tyler were supposed to do 3 at 3:12 with a minute jog rest and a fourth only if they hit 3 on pace (no 400s). Tough workout for HS but I digress...

Anyway, this went well for me. I think for 1min rest I would want to be running ~3:15, but then again I'd also want to be doing 8-10 so I guess there's the trade-off. My form felt very relaxed and I was hitting the paces pretty comfortably and evenly. Turned out to be close to 5K GP on the 1ks (minus the first), which makes sense for the number we did. The 400s were not difficult at all, since they were just barely faster than the 1ks (we decided on 75sec pace when we still expected to do the 1ks in 3:12, so we shot for just a little faster after having finished the 1ks). Little hard to know what to make of this workout exactly as a predictor but I think, for the rest and the effort, it ultimately bodes well.

Well if you did a 5th 1k at that pace with the same rest you could at least race a 15:45

Right, figured that much, and I definitely could have done the fifth no problem. Was trying to decide if the effort might indicate faster, but still have #18days left to work!
