Notes:

What is a 100??  A standard track (where 4 laps = 1 mile) is broken up into four hundreds.  I start on one end of the straight away, at the numbers, run to the other dash mark (at the other end of the straight - before the first corner) walk 7 slow paces, turn, walk 7 slow paces and run again.  Each straight is one - one hundred.

What is a 400???   One lap on a standard track

What is a tempo run??  Run out at one speed, come back faster.  So a 31/29 tempo run would mean I would run out 31 mins, and need to make it back to the start in 29 mins.

May your day be filled with grand plans.
