Total Distance
5.00

Speed work day.  Ran a slow warm up mile and then did 8 quarters at about 1:22 and I ran a quarter between each at about an 8:30 mile recovery pace.   My last quarter was faster but I'm not sure by how much.

My goal is to go sub-5.  If I remember right, the pace I could hold for 4 quarters was typically pretty close to my all out mile pace.  That means right now, I'm probably ready for about a sub-5:30 so I have a ways to go.  It was a fun run.

I meant the the pace I could hold for 8 quarters was usually close to my mile pace, years ago when I used to do this kind of workout.
