Notes
An absolute bear. 9 x Packard Ave in the noon sun (and humidity). Real feel was 90+ today. I did 6 took a 90s break and then added 3 more.
I started off what I thought was reasonably conservative, i.e. 1:59.6 from crosswalk to crosswalk, but ended up running all in a narrow range. The final 8 were all 1:56.9-1:58.9 which is 6:40-6:45 pace. So MP + 30s or there about. Certainly fine.
This was just hard. One of those hot humid days that the weight of the air gets to you. I also made a big mistake in planning the cool down since I finished the workout 3.5 miles from home, ragged and without water. I should really drive over if there's any danger of feeling like I did today.
All things considered though I felt good the rest of the day and am happy to have the most intense session of the week behind me.
