VO2max intervals at Einstein HS track. I was up early, who knows why, and it was 70F at 6:30 a.m. So, another bout of 4x1000. I didn't know what to expect given the fairly hard run in terrain yesterday. Figuring around 4:20 would be good, and that was pretty darn close. Splits:
4:19
4:19
4:19
4:22
A lap and a half in between, about 4:00. My legs were toast on the 4th one. The others felt o.k, intensity a little down from last time. There were a lot of walkers on the track this morning, clogging up the inside lanes as usual. One other guy running, and he didn't seem to care what lane he was in. But surprisingly, they all sort of drifted out and gave us the inside, which was nice.
