Training for the mile

My first specific workout for the mile, wasn’t easy sure i can do better. Will see how this helps with my mile race and the 5km races i’ll be doing as well.

Did a good warm up then started with 3 x 800metres, 3 minute recovery @ mile pace. What is mile pace i don’t know not run it before. But mcmillian reckons 7:38 so 3;49 per 800

• 3:50
• 4;01
• 4;04     

 Then a 10 minute break to recover then 6 x 200metres with reducing recoveries of 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 minutes this was the toughie

• 50
• 55
• 54
• 58
• 55
• 61

 There was a strong wind in the back straight. Guess i went a bit too fast in the first 800.    And the first 200
