PM: track "wave" workout. Alternating 800s @ marathon pace then @ 10k pace, rinse and repeat and run consecutively for 5 miles. Ran solo for most of it. Fortunately weather was much more ideal than expected: middle 80s, partly cloudy. Entered it aiming for 3:10/2:45 alternating paces which are 6:20/5:30 mile paces.

Splits:

MP 1- 3:11

10k 1- 2:45

MP 2- 3:03

10k 2- 2:45

MP 3- 3:03

10k 3- 2:47

MP 4- 3:05

10k 4- 2:40

MP 5- 3:10

10k 5- 2:36

I definitely mis-estimated my initial paces, but it was nice to hit paces I don't usually run at and practice managing them. It was a spurt of the moment decision to do the workout anyway, so I'm not surprised at the mis-estimate. I should listen to my teammates more next time.
