Warmed up and did 3xmile at goal 5k pace. I jogged two laps between each rep. My Garmin was a little off and clocked 5:31, 5:19, and 5:27. It was kind of annoying because my watch kept clocking the laps like 20 meters early and I couldn't get the correct split for any of them. I need to figure out how to turn off the auto-lap at a mile setting. There's also the possibility that my local track is a few meters long haha.

My actual splits were more like 5:35, 5:25, 5:32 I think. Somewhere around there. Still pretty good. I need to start doing more strides before these workouts, my first reps are consistently the slowest and feel harder than the 2nd.

I was going to do this workout tomorrow but the air quality looks like it might be really crappy so I switched the workouts in case I have to be on the treadmill tomorrow. Legs were kinda sore going into today so I'm pretty happy I felt as good as I did. Lungs felt better today than usual.
