6:30 AM - speedwork session along the boardwalk. The Rehoboth boardwalk is exactly 1 mile long so it made it easy to track the distance for the intervals.
3 mile warm up with strides;
3 x 1 mile with 1 mile recovery jogs (5:52, 5:50, 5:51; recovery jogs around 9min pace);
1 mile cool down
There was a pretty strong breeze along the beach this morning, mostly to the south. I took advantage of the tailwind for the speed intervals and ran the recovery jogs into the wind so my splits were aided to some extent. Overall, I was happy with the consistent sub-6 splits. My right ankle was a little sore during the 2 miles after the last interval but feels fine now. Hopefully today's agenda will include a few late afternoon slow miles, but we will have to see. Planning to go outlet shopping today with could completely drain me.
