Another set of 800s today. This week I did 4 intervals and tried to up the pace 2-3 seconds per 800. Started with 3 miles of warm-up and then started into the intervals. First one felt pretty good and under control.....surprisingly. I take these intervals one at a time and evaluate how my body feels and then decide whether or not to continue with the next one. I think the 3 mile warm-up really helped loosen things up and made these intervals go fairly smoothly. Here are the splits: 3:21, 3:20, 3:19, 3:19. Eventually I will try to work these down to 3:15 each and up to 10 intervals before St. George, but increasing the reps and the pace together can add injury risk so I will probably not look to increase the pace for the next few weeks. Finished off the run with the remaining half mile to make an even 7 for the day.
Time: 57:36 8:14/mile
