Notes
I'll be the first to admit that this might be a kind of dumb workout that might not make much sense. Original plan was just to do Jimbo's workout which was 10min @ tempo+10s, 10min @ tempo, 10min @ tempo-10s, and for him, paces would be about 5:50 5:40 5:30 or a little slower. Figured it wouldn't be too taxing so was prepared to add on some more fun after. First one was a breeze, second actually felt even better but Jimbo pulled off with some calf pain 3 laps in, so I upped the pace towards more my tempo pace for the rest of it. Then, was going to continue with the next 10 but I had an ITCH to do something fast today and I just COULDN'T SHAKE IT. Decided to throw on the 'tumbos for a GP mile just to see how it felt (somewhat similar to the 2@LT, 2@LT, 2@LT, 1@GP WO from XC). It was certainly no struggle to hit the pace for 1600 but I've got some work to do before I'll be able to roll at that for 5K... 24 days! Did some QUICK MATH and decided that the WO would be too short to cut there, so went with some moderate 200s just to roll a little, since I haven't done anything much faster than tempo lately.
So yeah, 1st half of the WO wasn't anything special (in my defense, I was being a NICE GUY and running Jimmy's paces) and 2nd half was kind of out of the blue. No biggie, I can still fit in 2 more quality/structured WOs this week. Chill workout, was just nice to be on the track and running a little quicker.
Also CAN'T DECIDE how to log this since it's like half tempo and half interval, but since average pace is right around tempo, I'll go tempo. All about consolidated logging these days so ain't splitting it up.
