Met Daniel and Noah at HHS, warmed up with a lap of Sugar House, and hopped the fence to the track.
Ran 3 x Daniel 484s with 400 rests. This was a new workout for me and one that Daniel does frequently. It goes like this...one fast(er) 400, straight into an 800 at slightly faster than race pace, and finish going straight into another faster(er) 400.
It was a great workout. Tests you on running race pace with a little tired legs from the first 400 and then tests you on picking up the pace again for the last 400. I will definitely be doing more of these. They seemed to go by faster than straight mile repeats because of the changing it up in the middle. I felt consistent and they were not miserable. Will try to push the 400s a little harder next time.
1:22, 3:04, 1:22 = 5:48
1:20, 3:03, 1:21 = 5:44
1:20, 3:03, 1:21 = 5:44
