Bachelorette #2

Saturday, 5/27-

Which one?

Russian intervals: 5x (3x300m @ 48 w/jog 100m at 30-sec) Jog 800m between sets
OR
Sit 'n Kick Reps: 5x (400m @ 64 . . . rest 30-sec . . . 200m @ 28) jog 1200m btw sets
OR
Pick-up reps: 8x 400m @ 70 w/90-sec Int and #s 2,5,8 @ 63

Well...I went with bachelorette #2, with a little modification. Instead of 200s, I did 150s, instead of 30 seconds' rest I took 45, and instead of a 1200 meter job between sets I jogged 1000 (shorter recovery to make up for the 150s and 45-sec rest periods.)

Bachelorette #2 went something like this:

mile warm-up (8:30)
1st set: 64, 22 (1000 meter jog rest--7:30)
2nd set: 64, 22 (1000 meter jog rest--7:30)
3rd set: 63, 22 (1000 meter jog rest--7:30)
4th set: 62, 22 (1000 meter jog rest--7:30)
5th set: 61, 20 (tried to see what I could do if I doubled my rest--1:30)
Mile cooldown (8:20)

The reason I chose the 150s over the 200 is that, for whatever reason, I wanted to compare this workout with one I did in late winter 2009 right before I ran 2:05 at Indoor Nationals.

I think I did pretty well, considering I gave myself 2:30 seconds less rest than I did during the 2009 workout I references above.
