Stride workout: warmup, then 10x30sec. pickups with 2min. jog between, cooldown. I did the strides on the track. I finally found out the exact length of the track I'm running on - it is 387 meters. I knew it was short (not to mention very tight turns), but I know exactly. It makes it a bit hard to know where 400m (or 800, or any other distance) ends as there are no markings at all on this track. They paint them once in a while, but since it's a cinder track, they get erased easily with rain and just people running over the markings. It also confirms my suspicion that Garmin is not accurate on tracks. Today, most of the strides were around 150-160 meters.
Anyway, the strides went well, it seems that the ones where I had to run the curve were slower than the straights, but maybe it's just Garmin errors again, not sure. I felt lactic acid accumulating in legs in the last 10 sec. on the last 3-4 strides. Here are the splits:
