I missed yesterday! I'm really struggling with Myles' bed transition. I was just exhausted yesterday. Hopefully I will get things under control soon.

I ran in the afternoon, today. I warmed up 3 miles and ran 4x 200 in 37-38. The back stretch was really windy. I ran 3 sets of 5 x 300 meters with 100 meter jog recovery, 400 between sets. I just wanted to say around 60 seconds.

Set 1: 59, 61, 61, 61, 60 (35-40 seconds on recovery.)

Set 2: 60, 62, 61, 61, 61

Set 3: 59, 60, 58, 58, 59 ( I extended my recovery to 1 minute. It seemed to help keep the pace under 60)

35-40 seconds recovery wasn't quite enough to stay under 5:20 pace. 1 minute recovery was perfect. I am just trying to work on turnover occasionally.

I would probably add another set next time.

I ran a quick cooldown to hit 9.5. Long tomorrow!
