Small group tonight for the Pacers FIRST plan track workout. One mile warm up and warm down with 6 x 800 at 3:20 (6:40 mile pace) for a total of 5 miles for the workout.
The track lights were on again. Thank you!
It was warmer than last week but the legs felt good and the pace was comfortable. We kept cruising along. Always started a little fast hitting 47 at the first 200, slowing to hit 1:38 at the 400 and bringing it in at 3:20 exactly for the half.
Except for the last one. A little extra inspiration came from the sidelines and we finished in 3:17.
Good workout, good steadiness. Got comfortable with the stride, the arm carry, maintain good breathing. We probably could have done at least two more at the same pace, but it was good to leave the track with something left. It was work but not overbearing.
A good confidence builder for the next race.
Go Pacers!
