For the 800M route, use…

With the break in the weather, time to get outdoors!  The way this works is you’ll run a 200M run 4 times (take a minute break between each), then run a 400M run 4 times (minute and half break between each), and lastly run 2 800M runs (2 min break between the two runs).  The clock will continue to run the whole time, so when you come in from a run, do the quick math to figure when your next run starts.  Your score is the time when you finish your last 800M run.
