Fri 12/26 - PM RLTAC 80 minutes incl. 1600, 8x400, 1600

Splitting the difference between a shorter faster session and a longer more controlled workout. Looking to run the 400s at around 5k pace, saving something for the final 1600 all the while. Also trying to run negative splits as much as possible. Splits as follows:

5:06 (2:36/2:30)
73
72
73.8
71.6
71.7
70.9
72.2
71.1
5:00 (2:36/2:24)

Overall a controlled effort, hit the numbers without getting overly fatigued. I had hoped for more gear changes on the final 1600, as it turns out there was one--from 39 second laps the first 800 to 36 second laps the final 800. Still coughing more than I would like, cough is productive but obnoxiously persistent. Right leg was somewhat stiff on the warmup, but loosened up fine once I did the drills.
