A slog. Feeling much more flat and tired than I had expected to, took a while to get out the door. Calf felt better after the work I did on it the past two days but still not close to being right. To top things off, the weather turned with the mild air mass pushed out during the morning, and colder drier conditions taking its place. With this of course was a persistent NNW wind that as ever, picked up in intensity as the workout progressed. In light of all these factors, made a conscious effort not to overdo it early on with the pace. The splits reflected this, as in they were slooow:
3:31.2
3:30.5
3:29.9
3:32.1
3:28.3
3:27.3
3:26.7
3:26
all the rest intervals were just under a minute until the last one. Even though I arranged it such that the wind was at my back on three of the five straightaways of each rep, having to cut through it on the other two more than made up for it and got extremely tiresome the second half of the workout. As I figured it would, the calf got fatigued by the end and was starting to twinge on the very slow and short cooldown.
