AM - 6.5 miles around campus. PM - 10 miles. Workout was a 3 mile marathon-pace tempo on the roads, then to the track for 1600-1200-800-400, and finishing with another mile @ MP. Splits were 15:57 (5:19, 5:21, 5:17), 4:49, 3:38, 2:26, 70, 5:15. I was a little disappointed in the 12-8-4 portion of the workout... my stomach started acting up about halfway through the 1200, and if I had tried to run any faster on the 8/4, it might have been a disaster! I like doing these step-downs and hitting the last couple reps hard.... the legs were OK w/ that plan, but my stomach wasn't letting that happen today. No big deal... and on the bright side, I felt like I was jogging for the last 5:15 mile.
