Probably overdoing it with another track race on tap in two days but couldn't resist. Felt quite flat on the warmup jog, combined with a gusty obnoxious wind I was having serious doubts about the wisdom of doing the originally planned session or perhaps even anything other than glorified strides. Right thigh/butt not feeling so hot either, all in all it made for a somewhat demoralizing experience before I had even started in earnest. Chose to do one set of the 4-3-2-1 cutdown (with 3-2-1 jog recoveries)and see how that went, with every intention of just doing ins and outs after that. Shooting for 76-77 for the initial 400 and increasing the speed of each rep from there. After hitting it in 75 instead I realized I might have been selling myself short and thus gave the second set a crack as well. Despite the fact that the wind sure felt like it picked up a bit from the beginning of the workout to the end, able to hit slightly faster numbers the second time through. Not so sure about my ability to keep up the pace I was running for a full mile but we'll see. Wore spikes for both sets which of course skews things. Wind also skewed things, in the other direction of course. Got blasted on the 200s, tailwind for the 100s, mixed for the longer reps. Surprised at how well the right leg held together after feeling like such garbage warming up. Splits:
