4x mile this morning with 400 meter jog rest. Plan was to hit the first 3 at 10k pace (a bit under 7 min for me right now), and the last one closer to 5k pace (was shooting for 6:40ish). First one felt pretty awkward, but was ok at 6:53, then 6:58 and 6:56. Walked most of the rest interval before the last one and then gutted out a 6:33 - not bad. Did the workout on a flat loop section of road in the neighborhood using the Garmin. Never used the workout by distance feature before - didnt much care for it, but mostly because I'm just not fit/experienced enough to know how to run 7 flat pace or faster. Will do these on the track next time - easier for me to check 200/400 m splits than watch pace on a fancy watch.
