Speed Intervals, ugh!

Tonight I met two of my teammates to run speed intervals. Not as much fun as it sounds. We started with a ten minute warmup (code for a ten minute jog), then we run as fast as we can for 400 meters, take a 2 minute walk break, sprint for 400 meters, walk for 2 minutes, sprint for 800 meters, walk for 2 minutes, sprint for 800, walk 2 minutes, sprint for another 800 meters, walk 2, sprint for 400 meters, walk for 2, sprint 400, walk for 2 and finally a ten minute cool down. Not including the warmup and cool down that's a total of 2 and half miles. With the warmup, cool down I ended up running about 3 1/2 miles. It should have been 4 1/2 but I got confused at how many times we were supposed to go down and back on the trail. And I will be honest in saying that while Mike and Sarah really were sprinting, I was jogging and I didn't push myself as much as I could have or should have but at least I was out there. It was my first time running speed intervals, I will do better next week. Please click here to donate.
