For you right now, that is 1:40 per 1/4. You have to give yourself a couple seconds high and low, because we are human after all. Aim for 1:37 to 1:43. The easiest way to keep pace is time your 200 meter splits. You would want those to be 48 to 52 seconds. You'll know if you have to speed up or slow down a little. If you try to run the entire 1/4 mile on feel, more times than not, you will go out too fast on your early repeats.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498738189457944736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209198186607567751.post-47728469158180514322010-08-18T16:18:08.575-04:002010-08-18T16:18:08.575-04:0011 reps!!!
