Interval Workout 15x200

Yoyoyo runners !!!

In this post, I’m sharing my Interval workout.

After waking up quite early to go to university, I still managed to head out at midday for my workout — something I’d been thinking about all day.

I put on my running gear and made my way to the university stadium where I train.
The weather was a bit cloudy, but luckily it didn’t rain at all.

Workout Timeline:

• 3K Warm Up (6:30 → 6:00 → 5:30 /km)
• 2' R
• 3x100m strides in 25s, 1:30 R between
• 2' R
• 15x200m reps in 45s, 60s R between
• 3K Cool Down (6:30/km)

More details:
For today’s session, the plan was to run the 200m repeats in around 45 seconds, as my coach suggested. As you can probably tell, I ended up running them all closer to 40 seconds (average = 39s).

That happened because right before starting the reps, I mixed up the target time with the strides I had done earlier and didn’t pay attention to the notes I had with me at the time (you can see them in the photo below).

As a result of that small mistake, I ran the cool-down at a slightly slower pace than planned. No big deal though — in the end, I still managed to get a more intense workout done.

You can also see how happy I am after this intense workout — all set to absolutely destroy the chicken with mashed potatoes from the university cafeteria.
