After just about two weeks Pfitz brought this guy back. Same VO2 max workout: 8 miles with 5 x 600 @5K pace and 90 sec. recoveries. I started my warm-up on the TM at the gym so I could deal with any urgent bathroom issues (ugh!) before I headed outside towards the track. Legs weren't as peppy as the last time I ran this workout but nonetheless it ended up looking pretty much identical to the previous effort.
4.5 miles as warm-up in 38:18
600m: 2:26
600m: 2:23
600m: 2:22
600m: 2:24
600m: 2:23
1.75 miles as a cool down in 15:26
I was pleased! Total mileage ended up around 8.75 miles. Pfitz brings this same session back two more times, I'm hoping to drop the pace a bit more with each session.
On a non-running front, the Olympics are over (insert sad face emoticon here)

nice way to kick that workouts ass...ended up almost exactly duplicating my effort from two weeks ago as well...
Olympics - now I just wish NBsuCks would package all the track/field coverage on a DVD for sale!
Nice workout Maria! Speedy, but short distance on the intervals, so manageable. Way to go!
Nice work. The cupcake porn today is making me drool.
KP - I still cannot locate any friggin' video of either the mens or womens 5000m!!! Although I did get to see snippets of the mens race from a segment I DVRed at like 2:00 a.m.
NBC is lucky they have 30 Rock!
