6 x cruise miles on the Urb. 30s rest. I realized in the middle of the 3rd rep that I was supposed to take 1:00 rests, but at that point I decided to just keep going with it and see how it felt. On this particular section of the Urb, there's a nice (mostly) flat 2-mile stretch that is great for tempos and other such work. The first mile is slightly uphill, and the second is pretty flat. I felt like running the first 4 miles in series, then I ran back and forth on the last 2.
1 - 5:26 (uphill)
2 - 5:20
3 - 5:20
4 - 5:16 (downhill)
5 - 5:24 (uphill)
6 - 5:19 (downhill)
Average: 5:21
My right hip flexor felt like it fatigued prematurely, and it hampered my stride a bit from mile 3 and on. It just felt like I had to work a little harder to hit the same pace.
By the end I felt like I had pushed just a touch too hard, and I chalk that up to the hip flexor. Everything else felt fine. It's probably just tired still from the mile Sunday. I plan on taking the next few days nice and easy to give things plenty of time to recover.
