Went to our running clinic's 2nd week of track workout tonight. Did 1 mi warm-up, followed by 8x400 (at threshold pace), with each 400 of speed work followed by a recovery...% sure what my overall pace was.) I honestly didn't feel very tired after tonight's track workout, so either my fitness is improving or I'm not working hard enough!
Not sure if I

I have two favorite sites that I use to track my workouts. I used to just use pen and paper, but that’s a little out-dated. : )
The first one is MapMyRun.com . This one....
The other site I use to log the workouts is BeginnerTriathlete.com . Useful to just log what you did. You can see graphs of your last week, last month, or last year. Keeps track

was being used. So we decided to jog to our regular tempo spot and map out the distances on the Garmins. My dad did a regular run and I attempted my planned track workout. (Attempted... to take into account.
The workout seemed easy enough on paper. I figured worst case scenario I would run the splits slower than planned. Here's how it went down Track Workout

Tonight's track workout was 1 mi warmup run + 5 x 1200 I + 5 x 400 E recovery + 1 mi cooldown run. That's 3.75 mi of speedwork + 3.25 mi of easy running, for a grand total... tonight's workout & needless to say, they like mush after tonight's track workout. (Sometimes running actually stretches them out, but tonight's workout seemed to only make them even

Before going to track workouts tonight, I met up with Steve and Amy for a pleasurely 3 mile run down at Central City Park and ran around the 1 mile track. It was still.... We kept it easy while trying to talk about why cars were parking and flashing their lights at passing cars. Thanks Steve for the 411 on 5-0.

Had my first real track workout in I dont know how long.
We were to run six times around the Austin High track. No stopping. 80 percent effort. 1.5 miles of lung burning... there was a short rest between each workout, this was harder than the first workout. I guess when you rest then ask your body to sprint, it revolts. I dont have splits for the second workout

, but we'll see.
Here's what we did today
1/2 mile warm-up jog
400m run + 400m recovery walk, repeat 3 times
1/2 mile cool-down jog
Our 400m times were about the same. My fastest...
My friend Angela and I decided to work on our speed today. We have about the same running pace - it's great to have found a running buddy! - but our pace is... kind of slow

On paper, last night's track workout should have been easy.
2 X 3200
The weird thing about the Run Less, Run Faster program is that they give you track workouts out to two miles, yet don't give you paces for that distance. So Dave and I decided it should be short tempo pace which landed us at an 7:11/mile. Shoot! Compared to what w ...

, I remembered why I loved the idea. The program consists of three running days a week - one interval, one tempo, one long - along with 2 other non-running workouts of fairly high intensity - swim, bike, rowing, etc.
The only downfall I could see was that the interval days were all track workouts. The closest track to me is 40 miles away

Track workouts give me anxiety. Maybe it's because I rarely, if ever, stick to them if they are on a training plan. This time it's going to be different because I know... at the training schedule. Last Tuesday I did 7 miles but today was the first track workout of this training program. Every Tuesday I'll be hitting the track and going round and round
