Final track day before UVM

1 mile warm up

4 x 400m at mp (1:33, 1:33, 1:40, 1:42) with 400m jog recovery

1 mile cool down.

Total 4 miles

I was trying to feel mp and just could not quite get it.  The 400s should have been 1:45.  Luckily I'll have my my garmin on race morning and hopefully that will help me get into the right pace.  I think I will actually just start out with the 3:05 pace group to try and get me off to the right pace and then decide if I should slow down or speed up about 10 miles into the race.

Brooks Summons II Miles: 4.00

I'm trying to figure out the math for those 400s. Do they include the 400 recovery time?

Hey, how many weeks until uvm?

No Tim, it's just my special ability to type the wrong time. Usually I make myself world record fast with my errors, this time I made myself turtle slow. Those should all read 1 minute not 3 minutes.

ah-- much more sense :)

good luck this Saturday! I like the idea to go out with the 3:05 group and then re-assess after 10. That gives you 16 miles to crank it up a bit if you are feeling good enough to go for the sub 3.

I was confused with those split times too! :)

If I remember right mile 9 is uphill to the dam, then it is downhill fromthen on until you hit Bridal Veil Falls. It is a smart move to start with the 3:05 and pick it up after the dam. I am certain you will get a nice negative split! Can't wait to see how you do! See you real soon! :)

I hope to see you Saturday at o-dark-thirty. I won't be running with the 3:05 group, so cheer me across the line!

Good luck.

Fly I will look for you at the start. I'm going to start with the 3:05 group but you might be passing me in the second half. Encourage me as you fly by me.
