An anticipated 4x800m with 400m recovery at American University in a group of Tristan, Zeke, Jackson and Kravitz. Anthony told us to run at mile pace, but noted during and at the end of the workout that it was okay for us to run a few seconds above that so long as it felt like the first two laps of a mile race. I could have worked harder, but in light of the directions, and sore from weights, the bike and whatever else, did not try to kill every 800m. First lap split was always 72. I still felt disappointed with the workout (and may not have been alone in this)--which Anthony must have sensed because he later said that we shouldn't worry if we feel like we're in a rut. This resonated with me because I don't believe I'm poised to do well on Saturday; because of my fear that my work won't pay off which is essentially what happened last year, I'm more worried than usual. Maybe the 16-32 double is just what I need.
