Comments Evening workout at Temple's Track.
3 mile and change for a warm-up, including strides. This was the first time in over a year that I laced up on the track. Spikes felt unbelievable and was immediately in the mood to roll. Workout for today was 2 sets of (1 x 800, 2 x 400, 4 x 200) with equal active recovery. With such a long break the times had to be quick. Most recovery periods involved about 20 meters of walking and a steady jog around 7:30 pace per mile before rolling into the next item. Finished up with a short cool down. Pleased with the pacing, stride was more relaxed in my racing shoes and recovered quickly. Hopefully I can get the 200s under 30 without too much difficulty before the end of June. Optimistic after this workout, beautiful night for a fast run.

Comments Schuylkill River loop. Best Ive felt in my recent workouts, probably because of the cool temperature and light rain. Felt some minor knee pain this morning so decided to keep the pegasus on despite the faster pace. Workout was 8 x 800 with 2 min active recovery. Ran by the quarter mile markers along the pavement. COuld have ran most of this workout straight as it was surprisingly easy and was making it to the next marker after each interval closer to 1:50. Focused on relaxing my breathing and upper body, which has been an issue with picking up the speed
