Russian meddling

Tues, 11/28-

Arrived at Pingry at 6AM to do a track workout.  The real version of "Russian" intervals consists of 5 x (3x300m @ 48 with a 30-second/100m jog-rest between runs and an 800m jog/rest between sets.)  This means 5 sets of 3 300s in 48 seconds, with 30 seconds' rest between runs and an 800 meter jog between sets!  OMG.   

On this 28-degree morning, I decided to do 200s instead of 300s.  My plan was to take exactly 60 seconds between runs and jog the 800 between sets in 6:00.  My goal is to build towards the original workout described above.  With my goal being 32s for the 200s, here's what I managed:

Set 1: 33-low, 60 sec rest, 32-high, 60 sec rest, 32-high  
Set 2: 35-low, 60 sec rest, 31-high, 60 sec rest, 32-mid
Set 3: 32-high, 60 sec rest, 31-high, 60 sec rest, 32-low
Set 4: 31-high, 60 sec rest, 32-low, 60 sec rest, 31-high
Set 5: 30-high, 60 sec rest, 30-mid, 60 sec rest, 30-mid

Hopefully, this Russian meddling will lead to medaling at nationals!  Haha!
