5.06 miles on the TM this morning, mostly at 7.7 pace. felt good PM: went to the track with no idea of the workout. Turns out coach was not there but left the workout, 1, 2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 tempo fartleks (30 sec rest between). I wanted to do 3:45 pace, but it was more realistic to do 3:50 pace since that is target hm pace and it was windy and there is next to no rest. I wanted to do this on the road, but it was windy, rainy and dark and Ali wanted to do them on the track and had a pacer so I conceded to doing them on the track. They are much easier to keep pace on the track. I do not have every split (my gps measures things long on the track and has me at 3:20-3:30 pace on almost all of these) but I kept the pace at 87-90 per lap, probably averaging 89, or 3:42-3:43 pace. 30 seconds is not long enough for a potty break, esp since you could finish anywhere on the track, so I eventually had to bow out of the 3rd 4 minute bit after 3 minutes, did my business as quickly as possible, and jumped into the last 4 minutes of their 5 minutes, then I did my 5, 4,3,2,1. So instead of it being a 49 min workout it ended up being a 52 minute workout (of hard minutes). Long workout. Did 6k cool down
