Notes

I wasn't sure how I would respond with the tired legs and the weather over 70. I changed my plan to 4x3200m with 400m jog under 10:00. I decided to run in the Piranhas because they have that track spike feel with some extra cushioning.

1st interval=5:00, 4:54. I felt a little bit off at first and caught myself running too relaxed. When you are fit, you can hurt earlier on and I need to remember that.

2nd interval= 4:54, 4:50. Felt easier than the first.

3rd interval= 4:50, 4:47. I knew I should be hurting at this point, so I pushed a bit the last few laps. I still felt in control and was going to shoot for sub 9:30 on the last one, so I sandbagged some.

4th interval=4:37, 4:37. I thought I could run under 9:30, but I decided to go for sub 9:20 because it would be a good confidence builder and I was feeling good. Ran this perfectly paced and was pretty tired at the end, but not as tired after my sub 4:30 mile a couple of weeks ago.

Pumped up after this workout.
