Notes
4x1200 w/ 1' recovery. 3 at threshold, 1 at race pace.
80 degrees, felt like 90 with the humidity. Swampy for sure. I ran with the front group. Payton hit the first one too hard and that kinda got us all out of our funk, not really well paced at all. Second one the group was reeling a bit from the first rep yet we ran harder. I knew that we were kinda pushing a bit hard, but decided to see where things would go. DIdn't realize how much of an impact the humidity was having. Third one we slowed down because I was just emphasizing effort and not time. A little extra recovery before the fourth. Ran with Justice on that one, he put a gap on me the last half of the rep, but I was happy with it. I'm getting back to it, but there are still these pockets where I feel just how much my body was hurting. I think I'm almost 100% and am excited to be there and get in a few good long runs before Chicago.
Rest of the team had some good workouts, some rough ones. Was told about 1/6 of the team dropped out -- seemed to be more, but I am impressed by the people who stuck with it today. It was not an easy day.
