i've shied away from these workouts because 1. they're hard and 2. i was convinced i could never do them. but i was wrong only about that second part. because they are hard. but doable. here's the breakdown:
800m warmup: 6:51
400m RUN: 2.25 (6.2 mph)
200m WALK: 1:37
400m RUN: 2.35 (6.2 mph)
200m WALK: 1:48

200m WALK: 1:44
400m RUN: 2.25 (6.2 mph)
200m WALK: 1:37

200m WALK: 1:46
800m COOLDOWN: 6:18
TOTAL MILES: 3.625
TOTAL TIME: 42:48
the hardest part was converting meters into miles and writing out the splits breakdown on a notecard so i could follow along on the treadmill. and the time passes rather quickly, even if i did only run a little oer 3.5 miles. my half training plan has me scheduled for alternating tempo and interval runs. i might just be a speed racer after all.

you are SO awesome! way to do the intervals! aren't they fun? I like them because they ARE so do-able and you inevitably impress yourself how fast you CAN go, and you get to have a breather during the recovery. Excellent job! I like your new profile and pic
Nice job!! Aren't they sooo much fun?!?! I will have to agree, the converting and figuring out your splits IS the hardest and most time consuming part! :)
I think the reason I never do interval training is b/c I lack the ability and know-how to convert meters into miles and vice versa. Can a Garmin do any of that for me?
