Mon 12/24 - double, 85 minutes total incl. 5x(1000,200)

AM - 30 minutes easy. Easy shakeout, barely awake. Breeze picking up as the morning went along.

PM - 55 minutes incl. 5 sets of the 1000-200 jog-200-200 jog workout I've come to enjoy so much. Took a long nap after lunch, still a bit groggy heading out the front door. As cold as it's been for a track workout this year, but thankfully the wind died down. Checked the watch after the first km rep, seeing how slow it was, then ignored the watch the rest of the way. Tried to pick up the pace within each repeat and from beginning to end as well. Felt like I might stall out on the fourth set but in hindsight this wasn't the case. Recoveries were all under a minute, some closer to 50 seconds even, which was the big surprise as I was expecting to see the recovery time creep upward toward the end.

3:34.3 - 38.7
3:32.0 - 37.5
3:26.5 - 36.8
3:24.5 - 36.6
3:23.8 - 36.8

ran the last 100m in 18.5 as well, the whole thing went in 29:22. Calf felt fine during the workout, somewhat stiff afterward though.
