I did 800 repeats at the track for the first time during this marathon training. It was difficult. I am positive it is a mental game as I started to get all worked up before I even started, and my last 800 was my strongest. I started out to fast and did not pace myself...still learning with repeats. I ended up doing 4x800 @ a 3:41 pace for each 800. I did an 800 warm-up and a 800 cool down. I also did a 200 walk between each interval. I need to learn to push myself harder and realize I have more to give. I also need to learn to get out of my own head and just run:) |
