Wed 12/17 - PM 50 minutes incl. 4(3x400)

Another try at the swimming-style recovery intervals. News flash, it can be quite hard with short enough recoveries. In this case, did each set on 2 minutes for the first two reps and then on five for the third, i.e. nine minutes total for each set. Aiming to alternate a set at 78 with a set at 73 which in theory represents 5k and 3k pace. Splits:

78.4/76.9/76.7
73.5/73.1/72.4
78.0/77.5/76.6
73.0/72.4/72.1

Feeling wobbly and overextended on the final rep of the second set. Hung in there better on the final set but the fact I put on spikes for this probably had something to do with it. The slower paced reps were fairly relaxed but I was hoping they'd feel a bit easier quite frankly. Legs bounced back somewhat from yesterday but still not exactly spry. Warmup and cooldown both on the short side as per usual with these track sessions so far this winter.
