I don't have access to a gym right now (the highs are like 37 where I live at), but know I've started doing track intervals at mile-5k pace (I'm a 800m runner) since its January. I wanted to know how fast should I do these intervals (6x1000s at 3k/5kpace, 16x100s @mile pace off my prs 400m-51.34, 800m-1:58, mile: 4:22 5k-16:23 (My goals are sub 1:53, sub 4:10 and sub 50). I just finished doing 3x10 100m hills in 17sec with 5min rest between sets. By the way, I'm a freshman in college.

Thanks for any feedback

37 is the high? Consider yourself lucky as you run your speed work at your normal pace.

First of all is that your cross country 5k pr? Why would you list it with your track prs? 16:23 is pretty darn slow for a 4:22 miler. Also what is sub 50? You mean sub 15? Do it.

do you're 1000s in 3:05-3:10 and your 100s in like 16.

Anything above 20 you can do at normal speed.

I've raced 8ks in colder than 20F and done full workouts in sub 0. You can handle it no problem.

Change into warm clothes when your done and don't let the cold keep you from hydrating... watch for ice?
