Too early for my tastes to be doing a workout but I had no choice. Right calf a concern from the moment I woke up, still feeling tight but I made it through the workout in one piece. Definitely wound up by the end though, and will need daily TLC from here on out to avoid a repeat of last year's strain. Felt predictably stiff and dismal on the warmup, which I did outside in colder temps than what I was hoping for. Warmup routine abbreviated somewhat by the need to get things started. Given the early hour I knew I'd need a 1600 as an icebreaker. Splits as follows:
5:01 (2:33, 2:28)
1:47.0, 69.6
1:47.3, 69.9
1:47.2, 70
1:47.3, 70
Rest of 90 seconds before each 400 and avg. 2:20 after. Overall hit about the numbers I was looking for, trying to hit the 600s at 5k pace with a faster last 300 and the 400s at something approaching 3k pace. It wasn't especially easy, but still doable. Negative split on the 600s wasn't as pronounced as I would have liked. Cooldown was minimal as coaching responsibilities took over, and it included an 800 in 2:28 as a pacing exercise for one of the kiddies about half an hour after I finished the actual workout. Obscenely cold in the gym this morning.
