Wed 1/11 - PM 70 minutes incl. 3(5x400)

Went through with the session originally planned for this day, even though I changed my mind earlier in the afternoon and right up to the first repeat had plans to do something less daunting. The punishingly short rest of 30 seconds after each rep on the final set is what scared me off initially. Further complicating the issue was that the splits got to a level that seemed unsustainable on the second set (45 second recoveries). In the end though I was able to get through it keeping a relatively consistent level throughout. I did have the distinct sense that going much faster, even on the first set when the pace was nothing to write home about, would have required far too much effort. Splits:

Set 1 (60 seconds recovery): 78.0, 78.7, 77.3, 76.9, 77.5
4R
Set 2 (45 seconds recovery): 76.2, 76.3, 75.5, 75.6, 75.9
4R
Set 3 (30 seconds recovery); 75.9, 76.1, 75.8, 76.3, 75.1
