Big Workout: 4 x 2 miles on the track w/ 600 meter recovies (3:20 jogs); Averaged 5:46 for the 1600 intervals or right at 5:48 goal pace

Repeat 1: (5:47, 5:45)

Repeat 2: (5:47, 5:48)

Repeat 3: (5:47. 5:45)

Repeat 4 (5:45, 5:44)

Pleased with this one. Effort was getting up there at the end. I had to do a slight bit of weaving more or less throughout, so I gave back just a few seconds overall but nothing too significant.

My legs are still tired from my race, so I will take this as a good sign. It's a PR for the workout by at least 6 seconds per mile average.

PM: 4 miles by headlamp.

Really nice workout Jason - very consistent and solid. Envious of splits like that.

Dialed in on this one. Nice work!

It's a workout I have quite a bit of history with, as well as success completing and running at the right effort. I think this is perhaps the 6th time I have run it in 3.5 years. I usually meet but have often exceed the interval pace for 13.1 miles. When I first did the workout in April 2012 I think I ran ~7:10 average. Since then I've been running it around 5:55-6:10. Before my half PR March 2014 I ran 5:54 (same for the race).

Wow - Looking really strong, Jason! Awesome 5k PR, also!!
