Fri 1/9 - PM RLTAC 65 minutes incl. 3x200, 2x300, 800, 2x300, 3x200, 800

First workout in a long long while where the time spent recovering was more than the time spent running the repeats. The workout went well, to which I can owe the day off work Wednesday, the day off running yesterday, and being able to sleep in this morning. However it happened, I'll take it. Splits as follows:

33.2, 33.7, 32.9
49.8, 49.6
2:20 (even)
49.0, 50.5
32.7, 32.9, 32.3
2:16.4 (70, 66.4)

rest was supposed to be a 200 jog between the shorter reps and 2.5 minutes before and after the 800s. Time-wise the 200 jog took anywhere from 62-74 seconds. Held something back the first half of the workout, saving something for the final 800 which I wanted to hit in 2:17. The second half of it was a bit rubber-legged but still smooth. Certainly the fastest 800 I've run in a long time. Right hip flexor and hammie a bit sore but not to a large degree. Even better is that the right calf held up to the faster running, it's still tight but nothing like what it was earlier in the week and late last week. As usual for a Friday, the facility was idiot-free.
