Followed the standard warmup loop with abbreviated drills and strides and then the workout of 5x1600 with one minute recoveries. A glorified tempo run, but not quite. The four minutes of recovery are just enough to break it up some. Made easier by splitting the pacing chores. Aiming to run 5:12, the first half of each one was within a second of 2:36 either way, the last few got into negative split territory as follows:
5:11.5
5:10.8
5:11
5:09.5
5:08.5
very much under control which was appreciated, although still a tiring workout due to the length alone. Right leg, mainly calf, got tighter as things went along and was quite wound up by the end. Cooldown was a very easy 25 minutes in the Fens.
