Track workout Tuesdays

Had a nice patterned workout today. Did a 15 minutes warmup with 4 by 100 strides at the end. Then doing 4 by 200 to find that target pace ended up being between 40-42 the entire time. Then we did an 800-2 minute 30 second rest-600-1 minute 30 second rest-400-30 second rest-200 5 minute rest between sets and we repeated that.

Splits were:
800-2:45
600-2:06
400-1:23
200-40

800-2:43
600-1:59
400-1:16
200-35

Felt really good throughout stayed on Rob and Harry's back shoulder the entire time and toward the end would fan out next to them. The wind was mostly on the back stretch too and it was not that hot today. I felt that it was a really good effort because we hit those target paces and then went below because we knew we could. Then we finished with a 10 minute cool down and then a nice up to the stomach ice bath which felt really good. I have been feeling really strong since that 6 by 1000 workout the past week which I was able to hold 3:28-3:30 pace actually descending from 3:30 to 3:28. Was a big confidence booster to have a workout like that. Can not wait to run tomorrow already.
