Threshold-ish workout in less than ideal conditions. Mulled over potential workouts, didn't really want to run a bunch of laps on the track but decided in the end it would be the most convenient option, and no matter where or what I chose to do I'd get crushed by the wind anyway. 100 jog between reps ensured that the pace wouldn't and couldn't get out of hand. This is actually the first time I think I've done this particular session, at least all in one slug. Aforementioned wind started out annoying, became obnoxious and progressed to obscene by the fifth or sixth rep. 15-20 mph from the NW with gusts of 25+. Made it difficult to maintain a rhythm, plus the increase in wind intensity coincided with a squall line of sorts, spitting rain for a short while. Could have been worse I suppose but still fairly miserable. Splits:
80.6/25.8
79.5/26.7
80.7/25.3
81/27
80.4/24.8
80.2/26.8
80.8/25.3
79.5/27.3
79.6/26.9
79.2/26.8
80.6/25.6
80.1/28
80.2/25.8
80.6/27
81/27.4
1:40 for the last 500m
after a while, the whole thing started to blend together, no surprise given the short recovery. Finished good and tired but not utterly spent. I had hoped to do the workout running clockwise to put less stress on the right foot but there were enough other users to prevent this from being feasible. It felt a bit sore on the cooldown but made it through the workout in one piece.
