Stepping out of the comfort zone of slower-paced, short rest type of sessions, for the first time since January really. Unlike then, no strained calf to deal with. After yesterday's rather flat run I had planned on putting this off until tomorrow but after feeling pretty good at work decided to try it today instead. Splits:
5:10.0
4R
3:46.8
3R - put on spikes
2:26.3
2R
70.3
1600 and 400 were ever so slightly negative split, other two pretty much even. Given the lack of faster-paced stuff for such a long time I had only a vague idea of what kind of pace to shoot for on the initial rep. Since this sets the stage for how to approach the rest of them it would be a good thing to have nailed down. Hoping for a negative split effort, thought about starting at 80 but decided a bit quicker would be more representative of current fitness. Inability to increase the tempo in the second half of each rep mildly disappointing, but the workout as a whole was relatively controlled. Given the longer recoveries, the numbers aren't overly impressive but it'll do. Steady but not overwhelming wind on the backstretch, in the 10 mph range. Even warmer today than yesterday, and unlike yesterday the temp didn't drop nearly as much as the sun set.
