Speed Day

Yesterday was a speed day and the plan was do 5 x 800 woth a 400 recovery. I had zero motivation for some reason so it was chore just to hop on the treadmill.

I started with a 1 mile warm-up. After the 1st lap, I was feeling pretty good and was getting psyched for the 800's. The plan for the 800's was to run them at a 3:20 pace and if I needed to, lower the speed to how I felt. I ended up running all 5 at 3:20 and finished up with a .5 mile cool down for a total of 5 miles. Not bad considering how I initially felt.

Friday will be a rest day in preparation for my first ever 16 miler. Wish me luck!!!
