3/17/16

Sat 3/12 - double, 2 hours total incl. 2x1600, 3200, 2x1600

AM - 45 minutes very easy. Originally the plan was to do a workout in the morning but too close to yesterday afternoon's run to pull it off. Also feeling flat and tired to a greater degree than expected. Instead, went for an easy putter with the CH around the streets of Maynard and into the fringes of Area 51. A bit breezy but overall another nice morning.

PM - 75 minutes, Longfellow Loop incl. 2x1600, 3200, 2x1600. Three times around the loop with the first and third laps being broken up into two reps with the middle lap being the longer one. After sleeping away much of the afternoon, got started a bit on the late side. Had some doubts as to whether or not I'd be able to pull off this particular session given how flat and lackluster most of the running (never mind any actual training) has been of late. This led to a relatively conservative start to the first two 1600s. From there I was able to get the rest of it done without undue straining, although doing anything more would have been a reach. Splits:

5:47
5:51
11:45 (5:53/5:52)
5:41
5:46

400m jogs after each 1600, except for the first one when I had trouble finding the line on the road which has faded out almost completely and dithered for an extra 30 seconds or so as a result. 800m jog after the 3200 which came in around 3.5 minutes. Cool conditions, some breeze but overall as favorable as one could hope for in mid-March.
