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.
