5x400 Intervals

After a well deserved rest day yesterday, I got up this morning and planned on doing my 5x400 intervals. Sis went to the gym with me and we planned to do a 1/2 mile warmup on the track. It was going so well that we completed a mile before hopping on the thrillmills.

With the help of Neese and her tips for intervals, I was so pumped to get out there and do it! When I do my intervals, I usually run 400/ walk 400. Today, I ran 400 walked 200 with the fourth interval walk being 400 due to a side stitch! Here's what it looked like!

1600M warmup jog - 10:36

400M run - 2:24
200M walk - 1:44

400M run - 2:19
200M walk - 1:44

400M run - 2:15
200M walk - 1:41

400M run - 2:13
400M walk - 3:51 (side stitch)

400M run - 2:10
200M walk - 1:42

800M cooldown jog - 6:09

Total Miles --> 3.5
Total time --> 38:48 (I believe I added right!)

It all felt wonderful! The leg was just fine!

Happy Running, y'all!

YEEEAH!! you did awesome, and aren't they fun? something about the adrenaline of running fast, PROVING you can run fast and then having the "permission" to recover before doing it again is just all so cool.. YOU DID IT!!!

Way to kick ass! I know who to look for when I start doing intervals later this spring.
