Track day. 4 mile warmup including strides and drills. This workout was a tweak on the last couple. 4x200m, 1x800m, 4x400m, 4x200m, all at mile pace with matching distance rests (e.g. ~2:00 between 400s). I was really anticipating that 800m, but and after I got through it the rest was cake.
4x200: 33, 34, 32, 33
800m: 2:13.5 (came through in mid-65 but slowed on the second half)
4x400: 66.5, 65.8, 66.1, 64.8
4x200: 32.5, 32.5, 31.8, 31.8
I wanted to nail that 800m a little better, but technically it was dead on my current mile pace. I had a scare this weekend that maybe I'm getting sick, so I started this workout planning to drop if my body wasn't having it. But I felt fine, hopefully whatever it is doesn't progress further.
Added full core after.
On a positive note, all my aches and pains have all vanished. The shins feel good, knees are solid, the hip flexors have relaxed and my hips are showing good mobility. I had a minor bit of tightness in my left achilles today I need to keep an eye on, but my body is handling this faster training very well so far.
