400m Repeats

Went into today's WOD ready to do some work. Even though it's been awhile since I've done any strict running workout, I'll always be a runner. As far as pacing, I had no clue what to do since it's been awhile since I've had to do any pacing.

I wanted to keep the times between the sets much closer than they ended up being, however, the goal was also to have the times improve, obviously as the percentage of effort went up. I'm definitely happy that the times within each set were better with each given percentage, but they were definitely further apart from the first set than I had planned them to be. Overall, I'm happy with the results. I think as we do more running I'll be able to improve the times, and also the difference between my splits.
