Yesterday morning I went to the track at Riverbank State Park and ran 8 x 800 meters from 3:42 to 3:20.

I went to the track this morning at Riverbank State Park and ran 8 x 800 meters from 3:34 to 3:14. I started each 800 a little quick (concentrating on leg turnover) to get my heart rate up faster and then gradually slowed down. My heart rate did not go over 150bpm until the last 800 in 3:14. My fastest initial 100 meters was 20 seconds and my fastest initial 200 meters was 42 seconds. I like this workout, and I think I will continue with this basic workout and just gradually work my times down. The key is to stay aerobic for most of he workout. I may do more 800s (10 or 12) if I have more time - like on weekends.
