2.25 VO2M I miles and 6.33 Easy

Out and Back to Hamden High School Track with the intervals done at the track.

8.58 Miles at 9:30/mile in 1:21:26 overall.

2.32 mile warm up at 9:42/mile (101 feet elevation)

2.09 miles cool down at 9:54/mile (121 feet elevation).

The plan was to do 7x800s in 3:40 (7:20/mile pace) with 3:00 recovery.

But the halves were difficult to put together and after two I decided to do quarter repeats. 

I was able to stay on pace for the last three quarters – I learned, like yesterday with the 10x200s, to slow the pace down a bit to prevent slowing toward the tail end of the quarters. 

While staying on pace for the 200s is simple – the 800s are tough…and the 400s are not as tough…but not a cake walk. 

Running the halves in 3:40 will take some time

Nice run! Thanks for your thoughtful comments, they're appreciated.

Right now I'm basically in phase 1 of Daniels program. Trying to build a solid base and build my body up for when the hard running happens.

Good luck in 2012, you're making great progress and I look forward to seeing your continued progress and analytical approach to training this year. Those 3:40 halves will come.
