Sense a trend? First, there were 1200m and 1000m (evidence). Then, 800m. Yesterday morning, it was 6 x 600m.
My friend’s taper continues, and I benefit. Of course, I suppose I am tapering, too, though I hadn’t ramped up much beforehand. At some point, I’ll have to challenge myself by seeing how fast I can go across the entire set, instead of warming up and bringing the acceleration a bit more each rep. I would need to be more careful and thoughtful about my warmup in that case. I am fairly steady throughout each piece, if the glances at my watch every 200m are semi-accurate.

There was 200m of jogging between each one, so likely between 90-120 seconds. I rarely pay that close attention to the rest interval. My guess is that I could put all six under 2:10 with some focus. Not sure if I could break 2 minutes regularly.
