Post details: 800 meter sprints
800 meter sprints
Wednesday was 800 Meter sprint day. Prescribed at 6:30 per mile, with a 1 mile warm up, 1/4 mile recovery and 1 mile cool down (4 x 800 meter sprints). The training run went well, since I'm just getting back in to it I did the sprints at 6:39 per mile. The 1/4 mile recovery was at about 9:15 per mile. Got through the run, minus the hickup of accidently pulling the emergency stop on the treadmill. They slow down pretty quick when you do that, and don't pause, so I had to reset the program on the treadmill, luckily I had my Nike+ watch on tracking pace and distance also.
Tonight 1 mile warm up with 5 miles at 7:49 per and a 1 mile cool down.
