A little speed work

Today I was feeling surprisingly recovered the day after a hard track session. I decided to warm up with an easy 20 minute jog. I then did 8x100m @ 16,15,15,15,15,15 in training shoes. I want to feel comfortable at 60 second/400m pace. I think doing short strides every other day at race pace helps to keep your coordination and efficiency. I am hoping to get close to my PR for 1500m when I turn 40. This would be sub 3:45 for 1500m. I will have to do a lot of work around 4 minute mile pace in order to be able to do this.

I finished the workout with 4x200m cut downs. @ 28,27,26,25. I ran these in spikes and I felt very good. I am starting to feel ready to run a good 800m. Next Saturday is a road mile and it will be my last mile race this year. I will finish the season by trying to run 1:53 for 800m.
