Indoor Track Workout

Went to the indoor track and did 5K. I think. I did 13 laps on Lane One of the indoor track. As near as I can tell, L1 is 414.5 yards. That's a total of 5,388 yards which is 4.92K.

Here's a metric converter. And here are my splits on the track:
  1. 2.07
  2. 2.05
  3. 2.03
  4. 2.01
  5. 2.05
  6. 2.03
  7. 2.03
  8. 2.05
  9. 2.01
  10. 2.00
  11. 2.00
  12. 1.55
  13. 1.41
TOTAL: 26:15

I wasn't pushing it super hard, so I think I can manage 25 minutes in the 5K. It costs $8 to go run on this track. I think I should only go when it's really too icy and cold to run outside, or to do pace work.

Using these splits and the pace calculator at CoolRunning, I can see some interesting stuff. For example, if I could keep the pace of Lap 13 for the entire run, my time would be 23:33.

My average pace in this workout was 8:35/M.

Looks like 26 laps in L3 = 10.1K; 13 laps in L3 = 5.07K.
