Run 400 M Repeats
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen 187 on my HR monitor! Since I missed my 6 mile run on Sunday, I decided to do one last fast effort before Vegas. I warmed up for 1 mile and then did 6 x 400 m repeats @6.58 pace on the treadmill. I alternated each repeat with 400 m of running 7.0. When I finished my repeats I felt pretty good and decided to put in 2 more miles to get 6 for the workout. What’s amazing about doing speed work is that 7.0 felt really slow. I cooled down 2 miles at 7.5 - 7.6. This normally feels brisk, but today it felt comfortable.

Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a
