90 minute Thirds Progression run (11.46 mi, 7:51/mi avg pace, avg HR 145). First third 3.41 mi (8:48/mi avg pace), second third 3.77 (7:57/mi avg pace, avg HR 150), last third 4.28 mi (7:00/mi avg pace, avg HR 169). Ran three out and back segments (uphill outbound, downhill return) with gradually increasing pace throughout each. Aimed for recovery pace first third, easy pace second third, and marathon/threshold pace final third. Felt like I nailed it. Started coming down with the same sore throat everyone else in the household has had last night, so I pushed the fluids last evening and this morning, so it didn't affect me during the run. Plus, got some extra sleep last night.
