New shoes! Initial impressions on the Ride 18 are excellent. Might need to swap laces for something longer though. Have to cinch it down hard to get enough lace to tie.

Hill sprints/track day

2x30s + 4x45s hills

4x400m + 4x200 track

74, 73, 72, 71, 34, 34, 35, 33

I swear there's still some speed in these legs. I'm excited to see how these short reps progress over the next few months.

2x2mile cruise intervals.

Warmed up, 4x30s sprints, then 11:41/11:43 on 2:00 rest. Feeling pretty good. Right hip a bit tight afterwards but not a huge deal.
