3 miles warm up with a 400m in 80 just to stride out a bit. Very windy. 400, 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, 400 @8k pace. 200 recovery on the 4's, 400 on the 8's. Times were 7l, 77, 2:35, 77, 2:36, 78, 70. Finished with 4x200's pacing @ the start and kicking w/ 150m, 100m, 75m, and 50m to go. cooled down back to the dorms for 9.6 miles in 60 minutes.
Daily review - 20 mph winds! 5k wasn't happening. The wind definitely made the workout a bit harder, but the pace was sustainable, I just let my mind sort of wander. First 400 I forgot that this was supposed to be 8k pace. Both the 800's were either even or slightly neg splits. Went a bit harder on the last 400. I began to feel some lactic acid on the last two 400's, but the 200's flushed that out. Looking forward to some easy days! I wasn't that focused today, but it was the paces I need to hit on Friday so that's good(maybe a couple seconds too quick).
