Today's workout was great for me. We had 8X1200m at 15K (5:20-5:26/mi) pace with a 1minute recovery between each followed by 8X120m strides up hill. 10 miles of running.
Travis and I started by running to the cinder track that we sometimes use called prittchet field. We, with the team, warmed up about 2 miles, stretched, did a couple strides and then got started. We were divided into groups. The first group consisted of the faster runners (based off the time trial) of Patrick, Blake, Clint, Travis, Julius, and myself. The second group consisted of everyone else. My group was instructed to run between 4:00-4:12 for each 1200.
We started off slower and worked our way down.
My splits were 4:09, 4:06, 4:04, 4:02, 4:04, 4:01, 3:59, then Patrick wanted to pick it up so him, Blake and I went 3:47, whoops haha.
After that we went up to the hills and did our strides with a jog down inbetween. Those weren't so hard. Once we were done we jogged back home a mile.
I have been quite impressed with how Patrick has been running. I wasn't sure after the time trial whether or not it was just a fluke but he's been consistent. Between Me, Blake, and Patrick, we are so close that we are going to be able to work together in races and hopefully with the help of a second trio of Travis, Clint, and Julius, we can pull out a top three finish at confrence. It's going to be really tight though between us, McNesse, A&M CC, and UTSA. We are going to have to pull one out, but we can do it if we do everything right this season.
