Event: 2005 PNWOF and 2005 USA Champs
 

I was chatting with Bob Lux yesterday evening about how fast we could run a mile in these days. I think I remember saying I thought I could get under 6. So today I had to try, and despite a good effort, under 6 was not to be. 6:01.5 for 1600 meters, add a couple seconds to get a mile time. Didn't feel particularly zippy, so on a better day it should be possible.

Warm-up

Operating under the theory of "if you aren't going to train much, at least train hard," it was back to the track with the usual group (all non-orienteers except for Phil). 6 x 800 with a 2 minute rest between, 3:08, 3:06, 3:05, 3:00, 3:01, 3:05. First 3 felt easy, last three hard, almost bagged it after one lap on the last one.

Before and after.
