We had quite the speed workout today. We warmed up four miles then braced ourselves to be tired out of our minds. The workout was 3 sets of 4x400. The first set was current mile pace, the second was a little faster, and the 3rd was whatever was left. We had 3 minutes of rest inbetween each 400 and then a 400 slow and 4 minutes inbetween each set. I was hitting around 70's for the first set and then my second set when 67, 68, 69, 67. My last set was straight 69's. We were all super exhausted afterwards and somehow managed to run a mile for a cool down. I kept having mini asthma attacks during each 400 and it took the whole 3 minutes to be able to fully breath again and then the same thing would happen again. It was pretty rough but I was happy with what my times were and the fact that I never went over 70.
