First time running planned intervals. Here's how it went:
1 mile warm up = 9:00
Then I did 1/4 mile fast, 1/4 mile recovery for 3 1/4 miles. Here are the fast 1/4 miles:
1:54, 1:57, 1:52, 1:55, 1:49, 1:57, 1:48
Then a slower 3/4 mile jog home.
I found the flattest part of Rocklin I could find (which still isn't flat, which accounts for some of the time variations). My recovery intervals got slower as I went, but overall to run an 8:35 pace for 5 miles is a LOT faster than I usually run. And I found that the variations in the intervals made the miles go by really fast. I'll do this again for sure.
Experienced runner friends -- any feedback on my choice of workouts? My goal is to learn to run faster.

Intervals do help with speed! It looks good to me!
First time running intervals? Had you not thought of it before? I know I talked about walking intervals this past weekend...it seems as if I do everything in intervals!
