build to either a shorter rest

Sun, 11/10-

I decided to do modified Russian intervals.  Typically, for a 2:00 HS 800m runner, the workout consists of 5 (3x300) where the runner does 5 sets of the following: a 300, 100m jog in 30 sec, then another 300, followed by a 100m jog in 30 sec, then another 300.  The 300 pace is 48 seconds.  800m jog is taken between sets.

On this very windy day, I decided to do 200s instead of 300s.  My 100m jog rest was in 45 seconds, and my 800 jog rest between sets was 6:00.  My goal was 32 for the 200s.  I figured that this workout would allow me to build to either a shorter rest or to the full 300.

My runs:
31,33,34
32,32,32
31,32,32
31,31,32
30,31,31

I feel I did pretty well with this one, but there is much more work to be done.
