| | Did a 15K tempo (6 laps) in 52:33. Things went similarly to how they've gone in half marathons - the first 3 miles are fine, then problems start around mile 3 or 4. Things get worse till about 6 miles, after which I start gradually speeding up. The first 5K was 16:47 or so, then the next lap was 8:40 ish, followed by one lap over 9:00 after which I was able to speed up a little. This is the longest tempo I've done outside a race for a while.

| | Today did 8x1 mile. One direction had significant headwind + a mild uphill. Ended up averaging about 5:15 into the wind and 4:56 the other way. My last interval was 4:47.

| | Did a 10K tempo today in 33:42 - 8:29, 8:34, 8:26 and 8:13. This is the best tempo on the soccer loop course I've had for a while - normally after three laps I have a spasm.

| | Did a progression run with Noah. The target was 6 miles at 6:30, then 5:30. then 6:20, then 5:20 down to 6:10 and 5:10. We hit most of the targets except the last mile - 5:17.

| | Today did 8x1 mile on the same course as before. This time the wind blew uphill - which made the uphill slightly faster, and the downhill much slower. The uphill intervals were 5:12, 5:08, 4:57, and 5:04. The downhill intervals were 5:15, 5:13, 5:08 and 4:59

| | Repeated the 10K tempo from last week. This time I got 33:00.00 (yes, the hundredths of a second aligned perfectly). The laps were 8:18, 8:10 (16:28 5K), 8:19, and 8:13 (16:32 last 5K). After two laps my left leg started hurting, and I was expecting a spasm, but the spasm never came. This is a marked improvement from previous workouts - where I would have to stop after two or three laps. I think the 8x1 mile workouts have been making a difference.

| | Today decided to mix things up - I did 3x3000 on the soccer loop. Got 9:30, 9:28, and 9:21. I felt good and was pretty happy with the workout.

| | Did a 10K workout in 33:15 - the first lap was with Noah in 8:25, then 8:09 (16:34 5K), followed by 8:14 and then 8:27. Had a spasm in the last lap - think I was more tired today. Noah did 2x5K - sub 16:50 on both.
