Aussie quarters workout

Well, this is my rendition of the classic Aussie quarters anyway!

Warmup, 6000 meters of Aussie quarter running 10 x (400 on, 200 cruising), cooldown. I targeted 74-76 for the on portions just to get the legs moving. This was my first time on a track since last winter. Mile splits were 5:31, 5:32, 5:17, xx. I thought it would be more challenging to have 50s rest but the last few laps were nice and smooth and I cut down the rest portion throughout the workout

Felt pretty darn good aerobically, but it's really time to get my mechanics in order. My leg strength needs to improve if I want to run low 5's for longer races. After 8 laps I turned and did the remainder "backwards" just to work the legs a little differently.
