Mon 2/15 - PM 75 minutes incl. 12k threshold run

Back to my newly wheel-measured and marked 4k loop (actually 3960m FWIW). 3 loops this time, aiming for 6:30 pace to start then progressively faster within reason. The wind which had been going incessantly for the last 4 days finally slacked off which made it easier. Numbers as follows, 1600/3200/3960:

6:27/6:28/3:05
6:18/6:20/3:02
6:14/6:17/3:00

Definitely reached the limit of uncomfortably sustainable right around 10k, stalled a bit after that but still able to finish the thing off. Maintained the same pace as last week's 8k for half again as far so I'll take it. Iliopsoas area very sore on both sides afterward, length of the effort ensured this. Felt it starting to stiffen up immediately after finishing, felt better on the cooldown but had to take it slow.
