4x1200

I confess. I guessed at my target time on these this morning. I read an article that described the goal of your track workouts. The article explained that you really don't want to run your intervals too fast and that you're really better off running longer intervals than 400. So, I decided to aim for 6 minute 1200s. I ended up running between 6:22 and 6:38.

I came home and checked my McMillan timings and I actually ran within their recommended targets. In other words, I overestimated how fast I should run.

I really enjoyed this workout. The 1200's were just challenging enough without being painful. The weather is fantastic. It took just the right amount of time.

I would like to take a moment to thank the couple that passed me on my jog home. I followed them for about a mile. I tried to hang back a little bit but still use them to pace myself. I think I made them nervous. So thank you guys and I hope you had a good run this morning.
