Lovely:

800 @ 5K pace
1200 @ 5K pace
1600 @ 5K pace
400x6 @ 3K pace (start every 2 min)

200 rest after the 800,1200, 400 rest after the 1600

Over to the track. Felt on the good side of so-so.

Active stretching and some skips, etc.

The obligatory 2 laps, with strides on the straights.

Workout as described elsewhere. Short answer was it was tough. Especially the 400s, done on a 2 minute cycle, meaning that your rest was whatever part of 2 minutes you weren't running. So, run fast, get more rest. By #4, my legs were falling apart.

The good news is that I stayed ahead of my guy (Kevin?) on all intervals. He remarked afterwards that I have gotten stronger since I started these, which is true.

A new guy, Stephen, another person faster than me with much less training, was there. And of course he knows BorKat.

(Note to myself, Mark is the dark-haired rabbit. He faded at the end of the 400s. And Terry is a machine.)

I was not inspired to run home right away after that workout, so I cooled down with the guys. Of course, that just extended my cooldown run home.

The run home seemed slower, or at least tougher than usual.
