Man today wasn't one of my best days for a workout. Just didnt have the consistent 70-71 pace in my legs today. Just felt heavy and tired and heart rate was threw the roof the whole workout. I started out with 60 second rest then around the 4th interval i had to go to 80 seconds and slow the pace up a little bit.  I told Bryant I feel like my body is in a breakdown period right now and hope that in a couple of weeks I will start to feel stronger.

good workout Ben. This effort will make two weeks from now easier. You the man...

Yesterday's double that you did likely played a role in the sluggishness. Your body isn't used to doubles anymore and it's hard to go hard the next day. I wouldn't worry too much about today's slower pace; it's still a good stimulus.
