Track workout: 2x3200 @ threshold (2:00 rests), 2x800 @ 5k pace (2:00 rests), 2x400 @ mile pace (2:00 rest).
The weather was nice again today, warm and sunny, although the wind has come up again and the homestretch was tough on the faster stuff. The threshold work was easy and I rattled off 5:15s and hit 10:30 on the nose for each.
The 800s were tougher. I went 2:26, 2:25. The 400s even worse at 67.7, 68.0. I severely underestimated how difficult it would be to pick up the pace at the end.
What excited me most is how easy 5:15 pace felt. I felt like I could run it forever.
Oh and the calf seems fine. I was ready to hold off a day on the workout if it acted up, but it didn't complain through my warmup or strides, so I went with it. It's just another sore muscle at this point.
