Steve - 6

I ran with a group at the track near my work. I'm probably going to run with these guys every week now. It's just too damn convenient for me not to. All the data from this workout was deleted, so I have to try to recreate from my memory. Workout was 1600, 1200, 800, 800, 400. I did a passive 3 min recovery between each interval. Took it nice and smooth on the first 1600. On the 1200 I can't quite remember what I ran so I put my best guess. First 800 was a bit fast. I was trying to hold off some jackass who thought it was a race. He was breathing so hard and pounding the track so loud with his awful form. I just decided I want to beat him on this one because for the preceding intervals he passed me in the backstretch with a kick that surely took everything out of him. I let him pass me on the next 800 since it's a workout and I shouldn't be running too hard. "Train, don't strain" as Mr. Lydiard might say. On the 400 I ran a pretty hard first 200 and then cruised in the final 200 for a solid 76. I felt pretty good after this workout. I think I got some good training benefit out of it--unlike that jackass that kept passing and/or trying to pass me in the last 100 of every interval. It's pretty pathetic and me and a few other guys were making fun of his awful form and overzealousnes when he was out of earshot.
