Personal:

First track workout of the season. The idea going into this season is to run less intensely but with a shorter gap between intervals. Hopefully that will help prevent injuries and keep me healthy while improving my speed and VO2 max.

Repeat 400's with 400 recovery run in between at 2:10- 2:20 pace.

Legs did get a bit tired near the end and I had to work hard the last 3 laps but I believe that's the purpose of the exercise. My achilles are tight so I'll keep an eye on them the next couple of days.
