It’s the first time that I’ve had a crack at this distance, having done 4x400 once before. Strangely, I found that my last 800 was fastest. Maybe because I was more warmed up? (I had done just over a mile warm up before I started the session). Although, maybe the thought of nearing the end of a tough workout inspired me to hurry to get it over with! Anyway, warmed down and home, I feel quite encouraged and will try to make it part of a week plan. Most of my runs are at a fairly similar pace which obviously doesn’t make for a great deal of improvement.

I did a 7 mile tempo run last night, my range was 8 - 8.10 minutes, 3 of them were sub 8 with 5 & 6 the fastest, I would have assumed I would have slowed rather than quickened pace.

My running club is organising it and I felt I ought to take part, even though the last (and only) time I tried to run a race on the track I had a massive panic attack and had to stop. That was 5000m though so I’m hoping this one will go ok. Wish me luck!
