AM - 15 miles. LT Reps: 10 x 3/4 Mile (1/4 mi) in 3:41.2 average (4:55/mile pace). Splits - 3:45, 3:45, 3:45, 3:38, 3:42, 3:39, 3:41, 3:41, 3:40, 3:35. 3 up, 2.25 down. I was shooting for ~8 @ 3:45, and thought with the cumulative fatigue of this past week, even that might not feel so hot. Was a little tired when I got up and opted to go for a walk with my parents and the dogs to wake up a bit. Then once I started the first rep I transitioned into robot mode and the whole session was actually a lot easier than I expected. The 4th rep got a little quick, and there was no going back after that. Could have stretched it out to 15 reps, but I had to get back and say goodbye to my sister before she left for the airport. The cool thing about this workout is that if you keep the recovery brisk, the whole thing averages out to well under marathon pace, even though you are jogging a quarter of it. PM - 7 miles. Grass park loops.
