Wed 10/24 - PM 70 minutes incl. 2x(3k, 2k, 1k)

Despite still feeling somewhat rundown and stiff-legged, went to the track for the longest threshold session so far this fall. 600 jog after each 3k, 400 after each 2k. About 5 minutes between sets, most of that time spent in the portajohn. This recovery was on the long side for a workout such as this but it certainly facilitated negative splitting, as seen below:

3:44.3/3:32.8/3:27.5
3:32.8/3:24
3:19.1

3:35.5/3:27.9/3:22.4
3:29.4/3:20.6
3:18

The longer reps started under control and finished at an entirely different level of exertion. Starting to feel right calf during the second set, which continued after the workout was over. Did some compressions on it afterward which seemed to help. Very good conditions once again for this type of thing, cool with no wind to speak of.
