8 x 2:00 min @ 10k pace with Andrea

Paces: 6:15, 6:21, 6:18, 6:20, 6:14, 6:20, 6:14, 6:08

Tight calves but otherwise felt good. Andrea suggested that I try lifting my legs a bit higher when running fast to use my upper leg muscles more and give some relief to the calve muscles. My cadence is rather high (194) at these higher paces and it might be that I'm not using my entire leg to push off and drive forward. I'll start lifting my knees a little higher on my next workout and see what happens.
