I was intimidated by this one and didn't run it quite right. But I think for the most part I got what I needed. I told myself I could take a break 6 miles in if I needed, but then I couldn't quite hit the right paces for the MP segments and it didn't feel as hard as I expected. So I kept it as one continuous effort. And I unintentionally compensated on the T miles. It would have been better running 5:15/5:35, but so it goes. 

No flare-ups in the posterior tib post run. I'll count that as a big success.

PM - 4 easy

Great workout. I've seen an 8-mile tempo alternating 1 tempo/1 marathon, but this is one I haven't seen before. It's always tough to change gears without running too fast.

A great one for the fitness bank.

Yeah it was sort of a tweak on some of Jack Daniels' long MP/T workouts. Those are too big for a midweek workout (and maybe just plain too big), so this is what I came up with. I wanted 10 miles of total volume and think it was a nice complement to all the shorter mile/2-mile LT repeats. The nice thing is I can adjust it in the future to either tack on another 1T/2MP segment or go to the 1T/1MP you mentioned.
