Today was the final day of awesome week, our third speed workout in a row. My legs were (and still are) sore from the other workouts. Today it was 20x 400's. They were in sets of 5. The first five at 5k pace with 45 seconds rest, then 2 mile pace with 1 minute rest, then current mile pace 90 seconds rest, then goal mile pace with 2 minutes rest. We wore spikes on the last 5. My average for the sets were something like 80, 74, 70, 64. By the end it was hard, but my last one was a 60 so that was cool. We ran half backwards to switch it up a lil bit. Our first meet is on Tuesday. I'm doing the 800 and maybe a 4x4 because of my killer sprinting speed

Dang, those last three days sound miserable, but they will be amazing for you and your team during the season. Keep up the good work.
