Track work.

I had a good solid workout on the track last night with the Lions Gate crew.  The workout was 3 x 1 mile repeats with 2 minutes rest between repeats.  I started off a little reserved and ran the fist mile around 5.50ish and felt pretty good going into the second mile ran at 5.47.  I decided to push it (as usual) in the last mile and ran in at 5.36 which I was pretty happy with as I was pretty tired at the 800m mark.

At the end of the workout Roger explained that adding the 3 mile times and then 15-30 seconds is an fairly accurate 5k estimate.

My 3 x 1 mile times totaled 17.08 meaning I have a 5km estimate of around 17.38.

Not bad.. guess I should run a 5k sometime soon…
