Just a quick note regarding my 800s on the track last night. I got down there late, and decided to do 800s because I had only been doing 1600s all winter, and it was time to do something shorter and quicker.
So the workout was six 800s with 90 seconds rest.
2:40 (1:20 + 1:20)
2:38 (1:18 + 1:20)
2:36 (1:17 + 1:19)
2:37 (1:18 + 1:19)
2:36 (1:17 + 1:19)
2:34 (1:16 + 1:18)
2:36.8 average
About a year ago, I ran seven 800s with an average of 2:46. So I’m doing OK this year. Let’s keep this up! Back with a Friday Funny shortly, but now, back to grading. Yay.
Nice splits!
