Longfellow loop. Addressing an ongoing and deep-seated feeling that this type of work has been missing and is required if any kind of fitness is to be established for the upcoming racing season. Right calf and hammie continue to create a situation where everything faster than a slow jog feels awkward and clumsy/clunky. Holding pattern with that continues, not getting any better or worse that I can tell. On top of that, there was the usual early spring breeze blowing from the NW, aligned such that the second half of each loop was more of a chore than the first. Splits reflect this:
5:52.4/5:59.9/2:52.7
5:53.8/5:58.5/2:54.5
5:50.7/5:55.7/2:48.7
Hoping to progress the pace more than what ended up happening. The effort required on the final loop was also more than what I would have liked. Some of that is cumulative of course. Oveerall between the leg and the wind it was something of a chore. Hamstring stiffened up somewhat the second half but not as badly as I feared it might. Calf and tib anterior very tight by the end though.
