Sub 40 Min Training

The Ed,

I was very surprised when I saw the splits after the workout as well. I felt strong through the first 4, I was hauling my butt in the 5th though.

Here's the lowest point my HR dropped b/w reps 2-5.

2 143
3 148
4 154
5 149

I would presume HR during the 60 second recovery was similar b/w reps 1 and 2 but my watch messed up.

I hadn't decided how I was going to do the 5K on friday. Either on the same track or at a local park where I would just do a 2K warm UP to measure out a rough 1 K loop or so then do it there. I'd depend on my Garmin GPS watch to measure the 5K.

The benefit I had yesterday on the track was it was 100% flat and a good bouncy surface. When I did my 2000's last week it was on a crusher dust trail with slight grade, but not bouncy or as "sticky" as the track.

What would you suggest? Based on the 1000's results (which I'm still a little surprised at).

Thanks for the tip about maintenance during exercise. I didn't stretch my calfs out at all during the reps yesterday other then after my warm up then during my stretching during cool down. I tend to walk for the recovery period before starting the next rep.
