Mixed bag track session. I had all manner of ideas floating around in my head during the day including many that would have been far too ambitious in hindsight before settling on this. 300 jog between the 1200s and 200 jog between the 200s. Set up to be something threshold-ish followed by glorified strides:
3:55.4 (80.3/77.3/77.8)
3:54.4 (78.3/78.0/78.1)
3:55.5 (79.1/78.6/77.8)
the 200s were all mostly in the high 36s, incl. 3 at 36.8. Last two in 36.1 and 36.2 as I tried to get a little turnover going on the last 50m. Recoveries right on a minute. 90 seconds between the 1200s, close to 5 minutes between the two parts of the workout as I changed into spikes for the 200s. Impossible to avoid that the effort on those 1200s was more than I would hope or expect given the split times. While there's some overestimation of fitness going on here, I can't shake the feeling that I dug a deeper hole than I realized during the weekend of the Groton races. That includes the Friday night repeat session, which by itself is nothing major but followed less than 48 hours later by 9 miles of hard running, had more impact. Then of course the concert later that evening, with bedtime stretching far into the next morning. Still paying for it. Getting old sucks as they say. Weather also sucks, raining or threatening rain once again all day. It held off while I did the workout but muggy and gross nonetheless.
