The good thing is

4/8

4/7--Russian intervals. As designed for a high school 2:00 800m runner, Russian intervals consist of 5x(3x300m @ 48 w/jog 100m at 30-sec) with an 800m jog between sets. My plan was to do "modified" Russian intervals: 5x(2x300m @ 48 w/60 sec rest (30 sec walk + 30 sec jog) with an 800m jog between sets.

My runs:
47/48
47/48
48/47
48/48
48/46

The good thing is that I felt fairly relaxed at the 200, which I hit in 31 sec for most of the 300s.

I was pleased with the workout, although I wish I could do 5 sets of 3 300s in the same fashion. Perhaps I could if I had a training partner.

4/6--ran 3 mi on treadmill in hotel.

4/5--en route to Boston to visit Boston U and Brandeis U, followed by NY (4/6) to see Bard College and Vassar College. Took Thurs off since we left at an ungodly hour.
