Thu 10/16 - PM 80 minutes incl. 3(8x200)

Got the workout in after all, despite not feeling at all confident that it would be successful or advisable. Right adductor feeling better during the warmup but hammie remains tweaked. Decided to treat the workout as glorified strides and pull the plug at the first sign of trouble. Also went with 200 meter recoveries instead of the too-short 100m from the failed attempt at this workout two weeks ago. First set was a drag, slow-ass numbers while running into a steadily increasing NW wind. Went with three sets instead of four given the slower numbers I was hitting no point in stretching out the session. Numbers got better after that, trend looks good but running with the wind at my back had a lot to do with it. Finally felt like I had gotten into some kind of groove by the third set. Splits as follows:

Set 1: 37.9, 37.3, 36.8, 37.0, 37.0, 36.5, 36.4, 36.3 intervals 54-57

Set 2: 36.6, 37.1, 36.6, 36.3, 36.3, 36.3, 36.1, 36.2 intervals 57-60

Set 3: 36.0, 35.9, 36.1, 36.0, 35.6, 35.3, 35.2, 35.7 intervals 58-62

Right leg hung in there well enough during the workout itself, started feeling some soreness in adductor and TFL during the cooldown. I'm sure it'll feel like garbage tomorrow. Still somewhat warm out, sopping humidity in fact, but the aforementioned wind started to scour out that airmass while I was running, it will be much cooler tomorrow.
