200m Repeats

Warm-up lap then some stretching. Then Ryan and I went on laps of 200 repeats - where you run pretty much as hard as possible for 200m then you take 2:00 minutes to walk the last 200m back to the beginning and then you repeat it. We did that 6 times.

1st 200: 35 seconds
2nd 200: 33 seconds
3rd 200: 34 seconds
4th 200: 35 seconds
5th 200: 35 seconds
6th 200: 34 seconds

I was glad to see I managed to stay consistent - which was the point. You aren't supposed to slow down or vary your pace greatly if you are doing it properly. I did take a little liberty on the 2:00 - basically I tended to slow down by about 5 seconds after each lap and I was in no hurry to get back to the beginning as I was still breathing quite heavily even after the 2:00 minutes.

The 5th repeat was quite difficult - the 100m straight away felt like it lasted forever and my arms felt weak and so hard to move along with my body. The 6th lap was more bearable since I knew it was my last one and so I was able to suck it up and push it out.

After the 200m run I walked the rest of the lap. Then I jogged/ran a lap in 2:06 then I lightly jogged a 200m and walked until Ryan's jog caught up with my and I ran for teh final 100m. Then the two of us walked a cool down lap together.
