Cretzmeyer Track

Rode the bike to the track this morning and met Dan B and others (Kim S and Jamie I). Warmed up for a couple of laps and then did some stretching before we started running one lap intervals:
  1. 400m, 1:30min
  2. 400m, 1:30
  3. 400m, 1:32
  4. 400m, 1:32
Pretty consistent one lap intervals (that was a sub 6 MM pace). Ran most of the lap close to Dan, and then sprinted about 75 m before the finish line. Rested for a few minutes and did four more intervals:
  1. 400m, 1:35min
  2. 400m, 1:33
  3. 400m, 1:35
  4. 400m, 1:33
Again, I felt pretty good. Jamie I. gave me a good push in most of the intervals. We rested a little bit more, and then we ran two 200m intervals (close to 5 MM pace):
  1. 200m, 38.5sec
  2. 200m, 39.8
Rode the bike back home and still felt pretty good. Most probably the trip to Mexico gave me some pretty good rest and I was full of energy. I need to say these runners partners make all the difference. Couldn't have done any of these runs on my own. I am very thankful for being part of this running group.
I liked my chronos and wonder what they will look like in a real race?   Can I cut a few seconds off these times?
