Met Mckenzie and Kent and his house in Salem, we warmed up a mile and a half and started our super duper spectacular 8x800 workout.  I felt decent on them and felt like I was stronger on the last for than the first.  We did them on the road which made some downhill, some uphill, and some flat or rolling but far I think.

1-2:53 downhill to flat (rest time 1:57)

2- 3:03 Slight down to flat (2:18)

3-3:09 flat with slight up at the end (2:24)

4-3:30 All up hill felt it (1:17)

5-3:03  Downhill to flat (3:10)

6- 3:04 flat (4:26)  

7-3:00 flat push to stay with Mckenzie (3:27)

8-3:05 flat to slight uphill and we are done:)

Good workout and went faster than I had planed.

Do you think it's better to do workouts like that on the track or on the road? Or some times one and sometimes the other?

I hate the track but think it is good if you are running track races. Road will teach you legs different things like, how to change gears on the hills. And leg turnover on the downhill. I choose the road over track any day.

Great workout. Way to maintain effort on split 4.
