Notes
Forgot to take weight this morning. Plan was to do 4x2k at around tempo/10mile pace with easy 400m jog as rest. Weather wasn't too bad, quite sunny with dew point around 16 and wind from the south. Only time I really felt the wind was for the last 600m of 3rd repeat but it was on the stronger side.
First rep was very smooth, breathing hardly felt like tempo breathing, 2nd rep got a little tough towards the end but nothing too bad. 3rd rep I really started feeling running into the wind in the last 600m. I also developed side stitch on the right side at this time. Recovery didn't go so well which made the 4th rep a bitch. Pushed to maintain pace and although I never left tempo breathing my legs just didn't feel like they would be able to go any faster.
Wore my 1400's and had some hot spots towards end. Feet were also sore during cool down so not sure if I am going to wear them for the race.
Definitely would have preferred for the workout to feel easier than it was.
