Uh, how did this happen? Here I am, adding miles upon miles on my six-day-a-week running program. Today, probably at some point during my track work, I surpass last year's running total of 1,640 miles. I would only have to run about 90 miles a month for the rest of the year and I'll hit 2000 miles. Pretty neat. I'll probably hit close to 2000 by the end of next month.
True to my recent form, my latest track work was pretty good. Probably ran them a bit fast, maybe faster than my 5K race pace, but I wanted to run hard without ever feeling like I was sprinting and have my heart rate at a reasonable level.
Here are my 600 metre splits
1. 2:16 (Average bpm, 163; Max bpm, 173)
2. 2:16 (160, 179)
3. 2:14 (174, 184)
4. 2:16 (176, 184)
5. 2:16 (177, 185)
The pace was consistent and I felt good throughout. I jogged the recoveries for 90 seconds. I'm now doing the 600s faster than last year with the same heart rate
Consider these 5x600 from September 2007 in the leadup to my Marine Corps Marathon
1. 2:09 186 max bpm
2. 2:18 186 max bpm
3. 2:20 186 max bpm
4. 2:22 185 max bpm
5. 2:23 185 max bpm
And from this past April in the leadup to the Flying Pig Marathon.
1. 2:29
2. 2:24
3. 2:26
4. 2:20
5. 2:24

Nice looking splits! You're certainly getting much faster. can't wait to see how you do at the end of next month.
