Good Track

First class of Strides tonight. I had a good track workout, probably because it was the first class.

Coach said "introductory" today.

Drills - 4 sets:
Jumping jacks x20 of 4 counts
Push-ups x12
Leg raise x2 of 30sec
Plank x2 of 30sec

Run. This semester we will be focusing more on distance and pace, in preparation of the year end marathon... even though I am not taking part.

For our group, we were to run 3 sets of: 400m @ 3min, 800m @ 6min, 1600m @ 12min. ie, run + recovery within the stated time. I was able to keep a consistent pace and still breathe. For unknown reasons, my legs felt rather fresh and strong tonight.

1st set:
400 - 1:38min
800 - 3:51min
1600 - 8:13min

2nd set: 1:34; 3:50; 8:12

3rd set: 1:40; 3:55; 8:07

Approx 5min pace I think.
