PM: 18 miles, averaged 7:39. HR 153.
20 x 2' On/Off
I remember when I thought 10 x 2' @ 5k effort or a touch faster was hard. This took a good deal of concentration.
Warmed up 4 miles with some strides, and my legs were actually moving. I did them on a pace loop of approximately 1/4 mile to help with concentration, knowing that I would likely hit one loop in 90" or less then have a slight push to finish. Stride felt like it was opening up a bit. It has felt clunky lately.
The last few reps were tough. IT started to get dark and I didn't bring my headlamp because I calculated the total workout minutes as 40 rather than 80, so being back at sundown turned into sundown + 40'. I worked fine though. I cooled down to 18 miles, which was something like 5k. Covered 7 miles for the total 40 minutes or 5:42 average. Getting things back slowly.
