3 x 1 mile @ T (1:00 rests) + 4 x 30s sprints (1:30 rests)

5:43, 5:43, 5:48

Honestly a lot better than I expected. Felt in control. That familiar early training feeling of aerobically being ok but the muscles wearing out quickly. Calves will be sore for a few days.

8x40s hill sprints. Felt so so so lethargic this morning. Was dragging on the sprints and never got up to full speed.

8 x 45s hill sprints by the I-215 overpass. Had to take a couple days off while my wife was out of town, and felt springy with the fresh legs.

3.5 WU, 5 x 3 min @ T (1:00 rest), 4 x 30s sprints (1:30 rest), CD

I thought I was coming down with covid today, so I decided to break try an easier workout that I could bail on at any point. 3 min fartlek sort of allows for not worrying so much about hitting times as mile repeats. Overall it went great. I got out a bit quick and faded, but that's ok for now.

12 fairly steady in 6:48 avg. I wasn't intending on cruising, but every mile ended up faster than the first with the miles 2-11 going from 6:59 to 6:33.

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. I tested negative for covid yesterday, so perhaps I'm in the clear. Snuck out for a short run to make this a not-a-zero day. 7:12 avg.

 2 x 5 x 47s hill sprints. This was super tough for me to complete. Split it into 2 sets and doubled the rest between sets. Averaged about 2:00 rest per rep and about 4:00 between sets.

3 x cruise mile w/ 1:00 rests + 4 x 30s sprint. Dusted off the VFs since I was feeling some lower leg pain after the last Streak workout. 

5:40, 5:32, 5:42

Went a little hot on #2 and almost nuked the workout. The legs want to push 5:20 pace but my fitness just isn't there yet. Muscle memory.
