AM: 11 miles total. Farlek of 8 x 2 minutes hard/2 minutes easy + 4 x 30 second harder/1 minute easy
Once again I did the workout under the shade and on the rolling dirt of Forbidden Drive. Upper 70s, nice and dry with a low dew point (<60). Planned to get through 10 intervals but I was pretty gasssed. It's a deceptively hard workout if you go out aggressively (the purpose). I did this back this winter and was seeing stars at the end.
I should have just gutted out the last two because I could have and it would have built confidence but I got in a decent workout. I tacked on the strides to work on my kick. They were slightly harder than my usual strides.
23 minute warm up/28 minute cool down. Averaged about 5:23 for the 2 minute portions.
Walked Remy for 50+ minutes shortly after.
PM: 5 miles easy. HR 133.
