Ran an hour total with Dimitri over at Foothill. We stayed on the track while he ran a 2 mile tempo run. I ran with him ( sort of ) by doing the following.


Warmup

800 at an 8 minute mile pace
400 rest (Dimitri kept running)
800 at an 8 minute mile pace
400 rest (Dimitri kept running)
800 at an 8 minute mile pace

Warm down

It is not surprising how tough an eight pace can be if you mostly run really slow training run week after week and month after month. I admit that each 800 got easier.

So 800's in order...
