We did a 5 mile warm up and then went to the hills. We had about a 35 second recovery after each 200. This was definitely my most impressive performance so far on this workout. I stayed within contact of Sean and Luis during the whole workout (about .5 second away). The last 2 reps I increased the pace and I hit 4:00 minute pace on the last rep. Maybe next week I'll increase the pace on the last 3. I felt good during the entire workout. Speed-wise I am making great strides. Now I just need to focus on doing the 9 mile runs consistently and no slower than 7:30 pace. Since I plan on doing the marathon and a couple of the longer races, I need to incorporate the requisite strength training for them.
