The sixth one saw me drop the hammer (maintain)

Fri, 10/17-took off

Thurs, 10/16-Met up with the crew at the country club.  As usual, we used the same 7.9M route.  The workout was to do 12x1 minute (12x60 sec).  That is, one minute on/one minute off, beginning at North Hills, 1.85M into the run.  The time at that point was 14:40, 7:55 pace.  We finished up at the fire station just before the University Music Building/bball courts just before High Street.  The time was 37:40.  Overall time for the 3.55M fartlek was 23:00, or 6:28 pace.  I headed up High Street and back to my car, on account of my need to head home to get ready for work. 7.1M.

I was very pleased that I hung with Manion and Callaghan, finishing the workout, in fact, ahead of them.  For whatever reason, this workout seemed more doable!

Wednesday, 10/15-Sluggish 4.3M (2 Rustin Loops) in 34:45, or 8:05 pace.

Tuesday, 10/14-The workout was 4 or 6 x 1200 with 200m jog between runs.  I would up doing five.  I ran the first three within the range of the top group, skipped number four, and then finished the fifth and sixth ones.  The sixth one saw me drop the hammer (maintain) over the last 400, running 4:09, a full 5-6 seconds in front of the rest.

Run 1: 4:20
Run 2: 4:18
Run 3: 4:17
Run 4: skipped
Run 5: 4:18
Run 6: 4:09

I hit around 2:52 at the half for most of these.

Incidentally, the top group would start before me, and I'd close the gap over the course of the 1200.  The top guys would plow through the 200 meter rest; I took a bit longer, but made up for it during them run.  Thus, my runs were a bit faster than theirs, as I took a few more seconds of rest.
