Having established in my previous entry that didn't actually go to college I guess I can't use the line" If Irony was on the curicular I'd have been a Major in it" but on the very day I showed up for mile repeats on the track the M50 Indoor Mile was being contested in Boston........w/ several more of these bad boys under my belt I may've been there to throw my hat into the ring......there's always Outdoor Nationals which is 18 weeks away......
By the time I arrived at Temple around 2pm it was warm enough for shorts and tshirt following my mile warm up.given I hadn't managed repeats period in 6 weeks and 4x1mile repeats since Nov 2nd{19 weeks} I went into these 4x1mile repeats w/ zero agenda,just do them,hope for the best and let the chips fall where they may......
#1 600m
1.20-1.24-1.28-1.26=5.38.6
A reasonable start,the question was how well could I continue/maintain this pace?
#2 600m
1.24-1.29-1.29-1.26=5.48.4
Prehaps predictably slowing down but my mindset was as long as I kept the 1.30s out of the equation the sub 6.00s would remain intact.....
#3 600m
1.29-1.33-1.33-1.27=6.02.6
Not a great surprise if I'm being honest but something to work on over the coming weeks and months.
#4 600m
1.28-1.33-1.30-1.24=5.55.3
At least I was able to finish strong and didn't just "mail it in"
Overall not a bad start,granted there's room for improvement but for the record this was a 15 second improvement on yprevious 4x1mile repeats on Nov 2nd.....lets hope it's NOT another 19 weeks b4 the next set of mile repeats.....
