The 2x800 run is one of my favorites, as you my longtime reader knows. Today was the first time I've run this one with someone else. Not necessarily the best plan.
I wanted to run on level ground, so we ran on my normal route, which was a battle all by itself. Plus today it was cloudy, cool, and misty. Between the first and second interval the FVRP got a phone call from work, and I left him behind. Both of my intervals went pretty well, although I slowed down on the second to get past some flooding and mud on the path, but still logged a best time of 5:45/mile at one point.
My overall thought is that I need to run this more than once a cycle. For some reason I think it's a blast, even though that's not necessarily my first thought when I'm actually running it. However, the opportunity to run fast (although not compared to elite runners) is something I enjoy.
