Notes
6x1000 on Leslie/Lakeshore stretch. Goal was around 3:45, even splits, knew it would be hard as the temperature wasn't ideal but at least there wasn't any sun. No real wind to speak of neither. Tried to start off very relaxed but was feeling sluggish and first rep was harder than I would have liked. 2nd rep wasn't any better so I started worrying this wouldn't get done. 3rd rep was surprisingly better with everything clicking and it ended up being the fastest rep I have ever run in intervals. 4th rep got hard, 5th rep harder, just trying to hang on towards end with breathing becoming very accelerated. The last rep I tried to give everything despite feeling pain from about 700m to end, surprised it was slower than previous two. Tried closing really hard but no increase in pace was recorded, Garmin seemed to have a bit of a problem running the bend at Lakeshore/Leslie. Had a huge cramp in right side right when I stopped, could barely move. Overall very pleased with effort, pacing was pretty good. Ended up averaging 3:43.9 for the 6 reps. 200m splits were approximately:
