For class this week we were to do Ruth’s Ladder. This is 600m @ 10K pace, 400m recovery, 400m @ 10K pace, 200m recovery, 300m @ 5K pace, 100m recovery, 200m @ 5K pace, 200 recovery, followed by 2 minutes rest, and then do it all over again for a total of three times.

Distance @ Pace Expected Group 1 Group 2 Group 3
600m @ 10K 3:06 2:58 3:01 3:03
400m @ 10K 2:04 2:02 2:05 2:00
300m @ 5K 1:30 1:23 1:26 1:25

I thought I did quite well even though I felt like a klutz with my right foot making a flopping sound.
