Warmed up with 3 miles to the LPT then ran 6X600 at 5K pace with a 90 second jog in between each (plan says 5X600 but I forgot so I did 6). My target pace was 5:45/mile which is 2:09 per repeat. First one was a bit slow because I was struggling to get a feel for the pace and had some course confusion. After the first, I decided to stop looking at my watch and just run. Splits were: 2:11, 2:07, 2:07, 2:07, 2:05, 2:07. It was only a mini-speed work out but I feel really good about how the pace felt. It felt good to run fast even if it was only for a short amount of time.
