CRC track workout

A2 400-400-800-400-400-1200-400-400-2000
400s at 1 second per lap slower than current 5k fitness pace, 800s at 5k pace, 1200 at 2 seconds per lap slower, 2000 @ 4 seconds per lap slower than 5k pace. Recovery is 50-90% of the time it took to do the previous interval.

After throwing the frisbee for about fifty minutes, I ran a few laps to warm up and did the following splits:

400 --> 1:56 (7:44 pace)
400 --> 1:54 (7:36 pace)
800 --> 3:59 (7:58 pace)
400 --> 1:53 (7:32 pace)
400 --> 1:51 (7:24 pace)
1200 --> 5:48 (7:44 pace)
400 --> 1:47 (7:08 pace)
400 --> 1:52 (7:28 pace)
2000 --> 9:56 (7:57 pace)

I still need to figure out what my 5K pace is. I wasn't dying after each interval the way I was at Quasar track workouts (where I ran 400m splits in about 1:27). Maybe I have just gotten faster this summer. I signed up for a 5 miler and a 25K in the first week of September--those will tell me if I've actually gotten faster or not!
