Wow, descending 400s is a tough track workout!!
This morning, I was supposed to do 30 minutes warmup, followed by repeated sets of 400s in 1:19, 1:16, and 1:13 with 1 min rest in between and 3 minutes rest in between the 3 sets. Then after that, I was supposed to do 2 "all-out" 400s, and I put "all-out" in quotations for a reason!
So I did the warmup in about 32 minutes - not sure how far it was, I'll have to map it out later. My first set was in 1:22, 1:18, and 1:17. The second was 1:21, 1:17, and 1:17. The third was 1:22, 1:18, and 1:17. The final 2 were in 1:19 and 1:18. At least I was consistent. Then I followed all of that up with 3 miles cool-down. Overall it was about 11 miles with some serious intensity in the middle! I couldn't quite get down to 5:00 pace, but I'm sure this workout will show up again.
Then, this afternoon, I did a nice 2900 yd swim! A good training day.
