Woke up very sore today, so I did a recovery day with a short run and 4 strides. I felt pretty good on the run and maybe went a little fast on the strides.

Gonna be tough to get in 40 miles this week but I'll at least get 30.

Warmed up and did 6x800m at 5k pace with a 400m at mile pace at the end, 2 mins between each rep. Splits were 2:44, 2:41, 2:43, 2:39, 2:44, 2:39, 70. Felt pretty good today.

I'll try this workout again with 8 800m reps in a couple weeks. I think I could have made it to 8 reps today but I didn't want to push too hard- and I wanted to get some faster turnover. I also did a couple strides on the way home.

Hot and humid run on a dirt road next to the Illinois river. Always surprises me how hilly Illinois is. I'll try and get out earlier tomorrow.
