Sprinters always fascinated me in childhood. How I wished I was able run as fast as those classmates of mine who represented my class and ran a relay. Years have passed since then. Now I'm a long-distance runner who can easily run a kilometer in 4:30. I can also run it under 4:00 if I try. I can probably repeat it a few times if I am allowed to rest for a minute between sets. But running it under 3:30 seems very very hard. But I always want to run faster, and develop my ability to sustain the speed longer. So tonight I gave a go at running @ 3:30/K pace only for 400 meters just to get a feel for what it's like to run at that pace. I did it 5 sets with a 400 meter jog between sets. I ran all five sets under my original target of 1:24. I'm glad. In the near future I may want to increase the number of sets by a couple of more.
Anyway, 400 M fast run was a good option when I don't have enough time to go for a long run after coming home.
