Thu 11/15 - PM 60 minutes incl. 5x(1000,200)

Revisiting the workout I first tried back in early October; cruise km, jog 200, 200 "fast", jog 200, repeat. Its structure is appealing to my sensibilities for sure. Five times through the cycle this time, as opposed to four back then when I was dealing with a super late start and the lingering effects of a head cold. Hoping to progress the pace on the kilos, not checking pace en route though so it was up to judging by feel. Speaking of which, felt a bit overextended on the second one which had me momentarily concerned about whether or not I'd have to cut the thing short. Perhaps still warming to the task or something as I was able to get it all done. Somewhat surprised to see the splits afterward as I didn't think the pace was dropping all that much from rep to rep. Recoveries remained relatively consistent. 200s also consistent, lack of turnover quite apparent even though this isn't the session for that really. Chilly but again no wind to speak of thankfully so I didn't have to get too bundled up. Calves still somewhat tweaked, esp. the left one which I noticed right away after the first rep. Further complicated things by straining it stepping on an unseen curb edge in the dark after the workout was done. It was throbbing after that.
