AM: moved workout to afternoon. Couldn't get out of bed.
PM: 16 miles, averaged 7:44. HR 151.
12 x 1K w/ 35" Recoveries
4 up/4 down. Did a longer warm up and cool down just because I felt like it. I knew this workout would be tough, and it is very difficult. I used a section of road that I measured out to be a kilometer and just used that and treated it like repeats, even though the recoveries are so short you barely have time to shuffle before you need to turn around and start running again.
Averaged 3:45/3:46 per k or 6:03/6:04 per mile, which I think is about the same as two weeks ago for the 10 x 1k version. Given how I have felt, I was happy with this. My legs threatened to tie up about half way through the last repeat but I straightened out and finished strong. I think the goal is to extend these out over the course of the next few months (not necessarily with such short recovery), so this will become marathon pace.
