| McNeil HS Monday night group. There were 38 of us there tonight. I got there early and did 1 mile warm-up. Then I did 6 each 800M intervals at a 6:30 pace. By then Donnie had started the group on their workout which was 3 sessions of 200M, 250M, 300M, 350M at mile race pace. After I finished my 6 800M intervals I joined Joe and Karen H on the start of the 2nd session of their workout and stayed with them for both of the last 2 sessions, where we ran at paces with a range between 6:00 and 6:25. Then Karen H and I did a 1 mile cool-down. This was a great workout. Coming home I still feel strong instead of worn out. | | Comments(1) |

Temp in high 80's or low 90's at Brushy Creek. I did 2 loops warm-up for about 1.8 miles. Then we did drills and had 14 of us here tonight. Bill is glad to see the group growing. We had a tough workout as Bill had us do a pyramid routine.
1. The shortest half loop in 3:12. Heart rate 159
2. The longer half loop in 4:25. Heart rate 162.
3. The full loop in 5:53. Heart rate 167. This is the loop we did last week 4 times at 6:20, 6:16, 6:17, 6:06. Joe fell back a little as I finished this one in 5:53.
4. The extra long loop in 7:08. Heart rate 166.
5. The full loop again but in 6:20. Heart rate 165.
6. The longer half loop again in 4:16. Heart rate 167.
7. The shortest loop in about 2:50. Heart Rate reached 177. This last short loop we pushed it real good and sprinted in the last 100M and got my heart rate up to 177, wow. A nice workout tonight. | | Add Comment |

Very warm and humid morning in Austin, TX. Ran at Austin HS track with Karen F & Karen H. Did 1 mile warm-up, then we did 10 each 1 mile intervals at 7:26; 7:26; 7:27; 7:22; 7:19; 7:24; 7:25; 7:19; 7:19; 7:11. Averaged 7:22. We sweat profusely. I finally took off my dripping wet singlet at mile 6. We were surprised by how many running groups showed up at the track. By the time we did the last couple of repeats we had to run around lots of other runners. It was a great workout. We went over to the shower by Townlake and got the smell off, and then went to breakfast at Maudie's. I was thinking of the folks running the St. George Marathon this morning as I was running this workout. Maybe next year we will get in on the lottery for St. George.
