Mon 12/20 - PM 80 minutes incl. 4(3x440)

At Harvard, hence the 440s. A delightful experience if only because I was able to complete the entire workout by the time I would have just been getting on the track at RLTAC. Worth sharing the place with rugrats of various ages. Every step run inside as the weather went completely to shit with windblown snow. Ninja slippers not made for running in that crap. Hoping to run alternating sets of slower and faster 400s with a five second spread, ideally 76/71. Slower went at 75-6, with one outlier at 74.5. Faster sets ranged from 70 to 71.5, although I missed the button on one of them and had to estimate. Recovery interval just under 80 seconds on average between reps, with 4.5 minutes+ between sets. Got somewhat easier as the workout wore on, although the last two reps were teetering right on anaerobic and definitely not a glorified stride. Left hammie was somewhat stuck from the start, as the workout progressed the psoas, adductor, and lateralis got involved and by the end I was more worried about the leg than the fatigue. Did a few moments of direct pressure between the final rep and cooldown, this made it feel better but still in no condition to do anything but crawl on the cooldown.
