It,s rare I begin my week w/ a 4x1 mile repeat but in three of the last five weeks I,ve had meets on a Saturday thus rendering my traditional Friday 4x1mile repeats null and void,w/ another meet this Saturday I figured rather than see another 4x1 fall by the wayside I,d kick off my week w/ said repeat,plus w/ a 1,500m race on tap this Saturday what better way to set myself up for the week.
Conditions were sunny and warm at 5.35pm when I began the workout,the day may,ve changed but the principle was the same,1.20 per lap,5.20 per mile 5 minutes recovery,repeat #1,a 1.15 opening lap followed by my slowest lap of the session a 1.22,1.21 for lap 3 followed by a 1.14,a 5.12.24 mile,I opened w/ a 5.14.05 mile on my previous mile repeats on April 11th.
Repeat#2 I opened w/ a 1.13 lap b4 a 1.20,1.19,1.14, a 5.06.38 mile,impressive but how was I going to top that?
Another solid opening first lap on repeat #3,going out hard each opening lap allowed me"time in the bank" for the rest of the mile1.15 again followed by laps of 1.19,1.21 and 1.17,a 5.12.47 mile,three weeks ago I went 5.14.05,5.15.86,5.17.58,5.08.27,having gone 5.12.24,5.06.38,5.12.47 what did I have left?
1.12 to open b4 splits of 1.20,1.21,3.53 at the bell,on April 11th I managed a 1.12 final lap,this evening I went 69 seconds to clock 5.02.38,I,ll have to check my mile repeats from last year but I doubt very much I was closing the session w/ a 5.02.38 in the first week of May!!
Here,s hoping Wednesdays 3X1,200m are as successful.
