Thursday Interval Run

Well, I didn't get up on time this morning, but I did manage to get in a good interval run during my lunch break today. I set out to do a 1 mile warm-up, followed by (4) 1/2-mile intervals at 3:28 with 1/4-mile rests and then a 1 mile cool down.

The warm up went fine and the first 1/2-mile interval felt good with the wind at my back. I started it a bit too fast, but settled down pretty quickly. The second and forth interval were against the wind and up a slight incline and I could tell the difference in required effort to hold pace. By the end of the last interval I was way winded, but it felt good.

I jogged back to the office where I met up with a group of 4 co-workers who had been working out in the gym and decided to go for a short jog. So I joined them for another 0.6 mile cool down run. It was just fun to run with a folks for a little ways.

Total Distance: 4.60 + about 0.6 mile with coworkers
Total Time: 40:43
Overall Avg. Pace: 8:51
1/2 Mile Splits:
1 3:26 (6:53 pace)
2 3:33 (7:06 pace)
3 3:23 (6:46 pace)
4 3:39 (7:18 pace)
