5x400, 6x200 ("Dr Wo's 8-minute Mile")

October 20, 2016 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: nice? sunny and calm, I think

Comments:
Another solid Thursday noon workout, with the same crew: me, CA, Lewis, Tommy, Evan.

Warmed up a couple miles, no grind mile, then into the 400s. They felt OK, but a bit of a struggle. Lewis led a couple, which helped:

73.0
72.3
73.8
75.1
73.2

From there, we jogged a couple laps, then went after a "Dr. Wo 8-Minute Mile": 200s on a one-minute clock: hard to the next turn, then standing rest up to a minute. Rough, but a pretty good workout. We decided NOT to do a full mile; instead, both Lewis and I did 6, while the rest of 'em did 4-5:

34.2
35.9
35.5
35.3
35.1
34.6

Felt pretty good, once you get in a groove. It's almost easier to do it this way - the brain doesn't have much time to adjust to either (the pain; the rest).

Good, short workout!

Jogged easy with CA for the cooldown.
