great Chaz ladder 6 mi

ladder workout on the track:
400/800/1200/1200/800/400 w/ 400 recoveries
1 mile warm up
1:21, 2:45, 4:13, 4:17, 2:47, 1:14
.5 mile cool down

I tried to keep it at 40 sec 200's but was coming up just a bit short. The front straight of the track was still snow covered due to the parking garage blocking it from the sun. The back straight was into the 15mph winds. So...I'm happy with the results considering the conditions.

I met up with a friend who joined me in doing these. (albeit a bit slower) It was the first time running with him so we'll have to make adjustments next time so we finish together.

    Track work w/people who aren't the same speed is rough. For team workouts, we always end up taking longer recoveries and adjust the interval speed up a bit to compensate.

    What a great workout! We're trying to figure out how to add in some speed work at the track - the problem is the daylight or lackthereof really. I hear Handley HS has a closing time now --- need to go check on that.
