Wed 12/10 - PM 65 minutes RLTAC incl. 1600, 3(3x400)

I had been thinking of doing 4 sets of 400s but shortening it to 3 was definitely the right move. Looking to run 68-9 and 73-4 for the slower set, successful on that score, but I thought for sure I would go under 68 or even 67 on the last one. It didn't happen despite what I thought was a blistering last lap. Apparently it wasn't. Splits as follows:

5:00 (2:34, 2:26)
4.5R

set1 - 2 - 3
68.8 - 73.5 - 68.5
69.0 - 72.0 - 68.4
68.2 - 73.3 - 68.1

recovery between reps averaged just under 80 seconds, with 3:40 and 4 minutes between sets. Right hammie starting to feel sore on the last set but it held together. Right calf also feeling tight and wound up, more than I would like and an unwelcome reminder of last winter's unmitigated disaster of a calf strain. Warmup on the treadmill, cooldown in the miserable wind-swept rain.
