Tue 2/5 - PM 60 minutes incl. mile, 4x(660,330,110)

Another less than impressive session on the track. Thought beforehand that perhaps I'd be able to hit slightly faster numbers or at least feel better doing it, but that wasn't taking into account the effects of consistently running on the track of late incl. two weekends in a row of racing. While the right hammie has been feeling better in general, it's still stuck just enough to make running fast a bit more of a chore than it should be. Also tired and flat as per usual, didn't get to bed early enough last night. Started off with a mile at threshold pace, figured it would be the usual 80 second laps and hoping to cut the pace down from there. Instead the first quarter went by in 82 and any faster would have felt far from relaxed. Two 80 second quarters later and I found myself stubbornly picking up the pace to sneak under 5:20 for the entire thing. The idea of substantially progressing the pace is but a fond memory. Of course starting out slower would make it more doable. 3 minute break after the mile and then into the shorter reps, looking to try and negative split the pace on the 660 while getting close to 3k pace on the 330s and mile pace on the 110s. Splits:

1:54.0/54.2/17.8
1:53.5/53.1/18.3
1:51.7/52.8/17.4
1:51.4/52.9/17.4

two minutes after each 6, one minute after the 3, and about 3 minutes between sets. I had planned on possibly taking shorter recovery between sets but after the first set I knew I'd need a little more time to get through it all. Changed into spikes after the second set, with obvious results. Some twinging from the right calf after third set not coincidentally. What jumped out about this workout was how incapable I was of finding another gear for the 110s, glorified strides that they were. Very short cooldown as it was getting late.
