Speedwork @ East High Track with the Black Sheep. On the menu was 10 x 800 @ 2:40 pace with 400 meter jog recoveries after each.

Ran a mile warm up and then an 800 with accelerating straightaways.

For the main course, here were the 800 times:

1. 2:41

2. 2:42

3. 2:37

4. 2:38

5. 2:39

6. 2:40

7. 2:40

8. 2:41

9. 2:41

10. 2:39

The last couple were tough. Josh was hanging in there with me and we (well, at least I) had to push hard to keep the final 800 under 2:40. Then one mile to cool down.

Good work. Is Black Sheep and Josh Steffen the same person?

The Black Sheep is a loose collective of Salt Lake runners that gather on Tuesday mornings for speedwork. There are anywhere between 10-30 people at any given workout. The name Black Sheep comes from the group's origin as a splinter from another running group that preceded it. Josh has been running with the Black Sheep pretty regularly this summer as he prepares for TOU.

I don't know why this comment repeated!

Probably because you posted the comment, then clicked on something else, then hit the back button, which would post the comment again. When I have a moment, I'll see if I can fix the code to catch duplicate posts.
