I am still pretty new to speed work and I think I made a mistake in not slowing down enough during the recovery phases. I warmed up @ 6.2 for one mile and did the recovery at 6.2, too. I got through one repeat at 7.4, one at 7.6, and 800m at 7.8 before calling it a day. I finished up at 6.2 until I hit six miles.<br /><br />I'm determined to conquer this.

I'm totally impressed by how well you did. I bet that if you stick with it, you'll be able to work up to faster mile times and an extra mile in no time.<br /><br />My favorite workout is either a fartlek run or a ladder workout -- neither of which is on the track or treadmill. :)Laurenhttp://www.healthontherun.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626288962348691125.post-60361154920563110822010-12-28T20:19:24.661-05:002010-12-28T20:19:24.661-05:00Great job Lizzy!
