Tue 9/30 - PM 60 minutes incl. 6(600,200), 2x600, 2x200

Feeling my oats a bit, to the degree that's possible right now. Right leg in decent enough condition for relatively long session on the track. The original intent was to step up the pace every 200m of the 600s, although by the end it became more like one gear change at 300m instead as I was starting out too quickly. The original plan also was for 8 sets of the 600-200j-200-200j routine, but I became so focused on hitting the right pace for the last 600 that I skipped the 200 that was to go before it and ran the last 2 600 reps back to back as a result. Whether this is laser like focus or losing mental acuity due to exhaustion, who knows. Splits:

2:07.8 (54.5) 38.3 (54.1)
2:04.6 (55.1) 39.0 (53.7)
2:04.5 (55.2) 38.7 (55.4)
2:02.1 (55.7) 38.4 (55.4)
2:02.9 (51.9) 38.4 (54.2)
2:02.4 (55.4) 38.4 (54.3)
2:04.2 (55.6) 2:03.5 (56.1)
38.5 (57.9) 38.6 (31.3 100m)
last 100 19.4
total time 36:15

While definitely wiped out by the end, overall the effort was controlled and I was able to run the 600s in somewhat of a negative split fashion. The days of not knowing how to dress are upon us, cool and overcast in the dark but more humid than I thought and found myself sweating more than I thought I'd be.
