Fri 12/5 - PM RLTAC 65 minutes incl. 4x1600

First of the indoor LT workouts. During the warmup both hammies felt sore and mildly strained, likely from the other day's workout. The afternoon bike ride beforehand didn't feel like it helped any in this regard. I was looking to do 4 or 5 reps, kind of had my heart set on 5 but the effort piled up faster than that. I'm guessing I could have gone for five were it not for staying awake into the wee hours last night with a million things bouncing around my head, the bedtime brain dump simply didn't happen. Resolved to hit negative splits in a fairly pronounced fashion, but it took until the last one for me to get in a rhythm where the second 400 wasn't too quick. Splits as follows:

5:08.6 (2:36/2:33)
5:09.7 (2:36/2:34)
5:09.8 (2:37/2:33)
5:07.2 (2:37/2:30)

recovery interval after each rep was just under 80 seconds. The first half pace felt quite relaxed on each rep, things got more interesting after that. Right hip/TFL stiff after the cooldown.
