2 mile wo, 3.5 mile tempo run, 1 mile wd

Ran a little short on time this afternoon, and I wanted to do something quality since my legs felt good and I'd been getting good sleep the last 2 nights, so I opted for a tempo at the BK track. Splits were 6:03, 5:57, 5:48 and 2:49 for a 20:38 (5:53 pace). Pace felt comfortably hard, just like a tempo should.

Great workout and I am glad to hear the legs are feeling good. They must, those are some awesome splits!

Thats a good workout. I'm a big believer in negative splitting most workouts.

Thanks guys. It feels like maybe things are coming around (healthwise) and now just the consistency in training needs to happen.
