I finally made a noticeable jump in my training. I felt that it was on the way, but I wasnt sure of it until my workout today. All of my previous interval workouts felt much different than I was used to them feeling when I was back in college. Today was the first day I felt in control of the workout.
The workout was similar to my 20x400 workout but I shortened it to 16 this time. I averaged 65.9 versus the 68.0 when I did 20. The big difference was effort level, I would say todays workout was an 8 out of 10 and the previous workout was a 10 out of 10. I once again did sets of 4 with 100 jogs between reps and 400 between sets. The sets were pretty much right on at 68, 66, 66, 64.
I am obviously really happy with how the workout went. I felt about the same on the last set of this workout as I did on the middle set of the previous workout. Today is going to be a nice springboard into my final phase before I start to the cut the mileage and get ready for the Veterans Day 10k.
