Went to Hillsborough High School to do Sit 'n Kick Reps. It was about 45 degrees and slighly windy. The ideal/goal is 5x (400m @ 64 . . . rest 30-sec . . . 200m @ 28) jog 1200m btw sets. Being able to do this as written sets me up to run about 2:00 in the 800m.  Since this was my first Sit 'n Kick Reps workout in months and since I know I am in deperate need of speedwork, I figured that I would be a few seconds off pace. Boy was I! I knew from the first rep that it was going to be a long workout, even if I planned to take two minutes between the 400s and 200s despite the preferred 30 seconds. My 1200 jogs in between hovered at 9:00. My runs were: 
70,33
69,32-mid
67,31-high  
65,31-low
63-high, 28-high

The last two reps give me something to work from: hope.
