INTERVALS: Hit the Target 5K pace

Scheduled: 10 minute warm up + 6x400 (400 RI) + 10 minute cool down.

I ran 4x400 (400 RI) instead.  I have not done formal speedwork in a while.  I am glad I did not start with 800s.  Wasn’t easy putting these 400s together.  Hot today as well at 70 degrees.  I did put the 400s together at 7:30/mile pace.  For now, consider 5K pace to be 7:30/mile and aim for this when doing intervals.

I am planning to do three quality workouts weekly (intervals, tempo, long).  Only runs scheduled for this week is this Tuesday run, then Thursday (3 Miles: 1 Easy, 2 MP) and the Marathon Sunday. 

4.86 (1.16 miles threshold, 3.70 Easy).  All done at AP 8:58.  Report below says 9:13 AP but 01:11 for 0.07 miles was when I thought I stopped the watch but must have hit the Lap key.    71 seconds/4.79=15 seconds.  9:13-15 seconds = 8:58/mile pace.

Excellent workout, the fast pace is right on (5K pace) and the rest is just right because you had enough recovery to keep the pace going. That is a sign that the workout is right with your fitness level.

Only one minor comment, you could have done a full two miles to warm-up, simply to reduce the risk of pulling a muscle. I often do three miles warm-up leading up to a tempo segment or Fartlek.

The speed work is a good idea at this point, activates a different muscle combination.

Well done!
