Having originally planned on another easy run today, I changed my mind around lunchtime and decided a threshold pace workout would be doable. My only concern was how the calves would hold up given how sore they were yesterday. Stiffness still there at the outset, dissipated in the left one after the warmup but not the right. Not going fast enough to reaggravate the strain but I did find it necessary to do a little direct pressure on the area during the recoveries to work out the kinks that had developed while running the repeat. Effort was controlled throughout, got a little tired towards the end of the second 3200 but still under control. The second rep was tiring enough that I wasn't planning on the final mile repeat, but the longer recovery made it a more reasonable proposition. Some stiffening up of the calf on the cooldown, it will certainly be sore for the next few days at least.
