Tue 5/27 - PM 70 minutes incl. 8x1000

Felt more sluggish than I would like on warmup, right hammie continuing to feel stuck. Got it loosened up somewhat but still not 100 percent. Workout was a bit different, both pace and recovery seeming to fall between typical repeat session (VO2 max pace or whatever it's called) and more of a tempo effort. I thought the desired pace of 76 seemed slow on hearing the workout, as it turns out it was just about right, averaged between 75 and 76. Rest interval of 1:45 was short enough to create some accumulated fatigue but long enough to keep it from getting overwhelming. Hitting the numbers on later reps required more focus to be sure. Splits as follows:

3:09.6
3:06.9
3:06.9
3:09.5
3:10.2
3:08.9
3:08.3
3:09.6

Finished with a barefoot cooldown of 15 minutes or so on the grass, pretty beat by this point. First noticeably warm and humid day of the season. Similar to last Wednesday in that practice started with t-storms, violent gully washers in fact. Once they passed through the humidity lingered and the breeze returned (unlike last Wednesday).
