Thu 12/5 - PM 60 minutes incl. 3200, 5(200,100)

Looking to do something along the lines of glorified strides, but couldn't resist tacking on the 3k (actually ended up being 3200m) that was edited out of Monday's workout before moving on to more leg prep-ish turnover stuff. Felt a bit stiff-legged while warming up but better after drills. Had it in mind to go 85-84-83 pace for each successive km of the 3200. Hit these numbers but in hindsight maybe should have aimed for 86-85-84 or even 87-86-85 instead. Last couple laps were more taxing than I would have liked. Mostly recovered after 5+ minutes for a series of 200s followed by 300 jog and 100s followed by 200 jog, so 800m for each set. Trying to build into each 200 and get as much turnover as possible on the straightaway throughout. Certainly felt like I was ripping along great guns but the numbers would beg to differ. The gap between perception and reality isn't that surprising, hopefully will diminish over the next few weeks. Right hamstring a bit stuck but still able to maintain a decent stride cycle. Big improvement over even a few weeks ago. Splits:

3:31.7 - 3:28.5 - 3:27.2
last 200m 41.5 - 11:08.9 total

5.5R

36.7 (97.3) 18.4 (61.5)
36.8 (93.2) 18.1 (63.0)
36.9 (91.5) 18.4 (64.9)
36.9 (93.6) 18.1 (63.8)
36.8 (93.6) 18.8 (32.9) 18.4 last 100

Same temperature as Monday's workout but more humid with a miasmic fog enveloping everything.
